Jordan Steenkamp, a dynamic left wing from the prestigious Paul Roos Gimnasium in Stellenbosch, South Africa, embodies the raw talent and relentless drive that define the nation's storied rugby tradition. At just 18 years old, his career is still in its nascent stages, but his explosive performances in 2024 and 2025 have already drawn the attention of scouts and fans alike, positioning him as a potential future star for Western Province and beyond.
He first caught eyes in youth competitions, representing Western Province at the Grant Khomo Week in 2023 alongside teammates like Altus Rabe and Gert Kemp. These early provincial honors showcased his versatility as a backline speedster, capable of turning broken play into highlight-reel tries. By 2024, Steenkamp had earned a spot on Paul Roos's first XV, contributing to the team's unbeaten season and their dominant showings in key derbies.
The 2025 season has been nothing short of spectacular for Steenkamp, elevating his profile to new heights. In March, during Day 2 of the NMI Toyota Noord/Suid Schools Rugby Festival at the school's Markötter Fields, he crossed the whitewash in a thrilling 34-32 victory over Garsfontein, helping Paul Roos edge out a hard-fought battle against one of Gauteng's powerhouses.
As of November 2025, Steenkamp's career trajectory points upward. With Steenkamp's name buzzing in Western Province circles, whispers of U19 Craven Week call-ups or even early Stormers academy interest are growing louder. His multi-sport background—evidenced by a fourth-place finish in the U18 110m hurdles at the Boland Championships—adds to his athletic pedigree, suggesting a rugby future bolstered by elite speed and conditioning. Yet, for all his on-field fireworks, Steenkamp remains grounded, a product of Paul Roos's holistic ethos that balances ferocity on the pitch with humility off it.
