Born and raised in George, Western Cape, Venter represented South Western Districts at an early age.
In a bid to further his rugby career, he made the move to Stellenbosch’s Paul Roos Gymnasium where he enrolled in boarding school in 2016.
The centre was named in the under-16 Western Province Elite Squad before a shoulder injury derailed his bid to compete at Craven Week.
At under-18 level, Venter took part in the 2019 Sanix World Rugby Youth Invitational Tournament in Japan, where Paul Roos Gymnasium claimed first place, defeating St Peters College 52-5 in a one-sided final.
Venter was then named vice-captain of the South Africa under-18 Sevens side which won February 2020's Capricorn Group Sevens Rugby Tournament in Namibia.
March 2020 saw him sign a deal with Edinburgh.
