Rugby career

2013 : Youth rugby

Maxwane was born in Queenstown and attended Dale College Boys' High School in nearby King William's Town, playing first team rugby for Dale College in 2013 and 2014.^[2]^[3]

He earned some provincial colours too, when he was named in the Border squad for the 2013 Under-18 Academy Week held in Durban.^[4]

2014–2016 : Western Province

Maxwane joined the Western Province Rugby Institute for the 2014 season.^[5] He was named in the Western Province U19 squad for the 2014 Under-19 Provincial Championship, but failed to make any appearances in the competition.^[6] However, he did feature for a Western Province Rugby Academy XV in a match against a France Under-18 team in August 2014.^[7]

He was in action for Western Province in 2015, making nine appearances in the Under-21 Provincial Championship. He scored two tries in their 50–14 victory over Leopards U21^[8] as his team finished top of the log after the round-robin stage,^[9] but an injury ruled him out of the play-off matches^[10] that saw Western Province crowned champions after beating Free State U21 in the final.^[11]

He also joined the South Africa Sevens academy, where he was named in the Blitzboks wider training squad that prepared for the 2016 Summer Olympics.^[12]

In April 2016, Maxwane made his first class debut, starting their 2016 Currie Cup qualification match against the Blue Bulls.^[13] After another start against the Free State XV,^[14] he scored his first senior try in a 27–24 victory over the Golden Lions XV in his next match.^[15] He made three more starts and two appearances off the bench in the competition, scoring his second try in his final appearance for the team in a 45–17 victory over the SWD Eagles.^[16]

He returned to the Under-21 team, starting all eight of their matches in the 2016 Under-21 Provincial Championship. He scored one try against the Blue Bulls U21s^[17] and two against the Golden Lions U21^[18] during the regular season to help Western Province finish top of the log.^[19] He scored a decisive try in a 26–23 victory over Free State U21 in the semi-finals^[20] and his fifth of the season in the final, where his team fell just short, losing 34–38 to the Golden Lions.^[21] He finished as his team's top try scorer, and just one behind the top try scorers in the competition, the Leopards U21s' Elden Schoeman and the Sharks U21s' Tristan Blewett,^[22] and was also named the team's best back of the season at the annual awards ceremony.^[23]

2017–present : Bulls

At the end of the 2016 season, the Pretoria-based Blue Bulls announced that Maxwane would join them for the 2017 season;^[24] he was subsequently also included in the Bulls Super Rugby squad for the 2017 season.^[25]
