Jurie Matthee, born on November 4, 2000, in South Africa, is a professional rugby union player renowned for his tactical acumen as a fly-half. Standing at 1.91 meters (6 ft 3 in) and weighing around 89-92 kg, Matthee has emerged as a promising talent in South African rugby, blending precise goal-kicking with game management skills. He attended Stellenbosch University, where he honed his abilities while residing in the Dagbreek Men's Residence, laying the foundation for a career that has seen him rise through domestic and international competitions.
Matthee's professional journey began in earnest in 2023 when he signed a contract with Western Province, the Currie Cup team affiliated with the Stormers franchise. That year, he made his debut for Western Province in the Currie Cup against the Free State Cheetahs, going on to feature in five matches and scoring 23 points through a combination of penalties and conversions. This strong domestic showing earned him a spot in the Stormers squad ahead of the 2023–24 United Rugby Championship (URC) season, where he debuted in pre-season fixtures against the SWD Eagles.
Since joining the Stormers—a Cape Town-based franchise competing in the URC—Matthee has become a key squad member, contributing to their competitive campaigns. His URC appearances have showcased his versatility, including try-scoring ability and reliable place-kicking. As of the 2025–26 season, he has played at least one match, accumulating 20 points (including one try) in limited minutes, with notable contributions in kicks from hand and carried meters. A standout performance came on October 25, 2025, when Matthee scored 21 personal points (including a try, two conversions, and four penalties) in a hard-fought URC victory over Benetton in Treviso, Italy, helping keep the Stormers unbeaten in the competition that year.
At 24 years old, Matthee continues to develop within the Stormers and Western Province setup, with no senior international caps for the Springboks to date. His career trajectory positions him as a potential future star for South African rugby, building on a solid base of domestic experience and URC exposure.
