He joined the Golden Lions for the 2013 season,[4] but was seriously injured in a car crash shortly after joining, which ruled him out until at least the end of 2013.[5] He fully recovered and was included in the Lions squad for the 2014 Super Rugby season[6] and made his debut in a 21–20 victory over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.[7][8]

He also played for UP Tuks in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Varsity Cup competitions.

He joined Gloucester prior to the 2018–19 English Premiership.[9]

It was confirmed he had left Gloucester in June 2020 in order to pursue a career in Japan.[12] It was later confirmed that Mostert returned to Japan Top League competition to sign for Honda Heat for their next season.[13]

Notes

[edit | edit source]
  1. ^ French Top 14 side Lyon also announced that they signed Mostert from 1 November 2016 onwards (or after the November internationals if he is involved). However, the Ricoh Black Rams then announced that they signed Mostert on a two-year contract, and South African media reported that he will return for the Lions in 2017. In October 2016, with Mostert joining Ricoh Black Rams, Lyon threatened to take legal action against Mostert.[3]
