Rugby career

2013–2015: Youth and Varsity Shield rugby

Verity-Amm was born in Kroonstad, but grew up in the Western Cape, where he attended Hottentots Holland High School in Somerset West. In 2013, Verity-Amm made two appearances for the Cape Town-based Western Province U19 in the Under-19 Provincial Championship.

He played Varsity Shield rugby for UWC in 2014 and 2015. He scored four tries in seven appearances in 2014 – including two in a match against UFH Blues[2] – as UWC struggled in the competition, finishing second-bottom on the log.[3] In 2015, Verity-Amm endured a purple patch, scoring hat-tricks in both of their matches against UFH Blues,[4][5] and away to eventual runner-up Wits,[6] and two tries against TUT Vikings,[7] to finish as the competition's top scorer with eleven tries in seven starts.[8]

He also featured for Western Province U21 in the 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship, making three appearances, including one in the final, where he scored a late try to round off his side's 52–17 victory over Free State U21 to secure the title.[9]

2016–present: Western Force and Perth Spirit

In 2016, Verity-Amm moved to Perth in Australia, where he joined the Future Force, the academy of the Western Force Super Rugby franchise.[10] He was named in the Perth Spirit squad for the 2016 National Rugby Championship,[11] but failed to feature in any matches.

After featuring for the Western Force against the Perth Spirit at a pre-season trial match in January 2017 which saw him score a hat-trick of tries in a 22–14 win,[12] Verity-Amm was then named in the starting line-up for their home match against the Lions in Round Ten of the 2017 Super Rugby season.[13]
