Career
[edit]Youth and Varsity rugby
[edit]As a scholar at Westville Boys' High School, Sithole was included in the KwaZulu-Natal squad at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in 2009.
He then moved to Cape Town to join Western Province. He played for the Western Province U19 side during the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship (making thirteen appearances as he helped the team win the competition) and for the Western Province U21 side during the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship (once again helping him team win the tournament).
He also played for the UCT Ikey Tigers during the 2013 Varsity Cup competition.
2013 IRB Junior World Championship
[edit]In 2013, Sithole was a member of the South African Under-20 side that competed at the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship in France. After substitute appearances in their pool stage matches against the United States[2] and England,[3] he started in their final pool stage match against hosts France.[4] He was an unused substitute as South Africa got eliminated from the competition in the Semi-finals against Wales,[5] but was restored to their third place play-off match against New Zealand,[6] helping South Africa to a third-place finish in the tournament.
Western Province / Stormers
[edit]His first senior start in domestic rugby came during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition in April 2014. He came on as a substitute against Kenyan invitational side Simba XV, with the South African side winning 65–29.[7] His first start came three weeks later, as Western Province suffered a surprise defeat against the SWD Eagles in George[8] and he also saw some game time in their quarter-final match, where they got eliminated from the competition by the Pumas in Nelspruit.[9]
In May 2014, Sithole was drafted into the Stormers squad for their 2014 Super Rugby match against the Sharks in Durban.[10]
