Keagan Glade, born on 12 May 1999 in South Africa, is an up-and-coming South African rugby union player who currently represents the Sharks in the Currie Cup. His primary position is as a prop.
Glade's promising career began to take shape when he was called up to the Junior Springbok set-up in 2018. Although he missed out on selection for the World Rugby U20 Championship, it was a testament to his talent and potential as a powerful prop.
In 2019, Glade was part of the SA Rugby Academy squad, training alongside the Junior Springbok coaches in Stellenbosch. His hard work paid off when he was called into the squad as an injury replacement for the 2019 World Rugby U20 Championship.
As part of his educational journey, Glade studied at both Wits and UCT universities. He honed his rugby skills and developed as a player while attending King Edward VII School, which has a rich rugby tradition.
Glade's physical attributes contribute to his effectiveness on the field. Standing at 1.83 meters (6 feet 0 inches) tall and weighing 111 kilograms (245 pounds; 17 stone 7 pounds), he brings power and strength to his role as a prop.
With his experience representing SA Schools in 2016 and 2017, Keagan Glade continues to make strides in his rugby career. His inclusion in the Sharks squad for the 2022 Currie Cup Premier Division demonstrates the recognition of his abilities and potential at the senior level.
