Kieran Goss is a South African rugby union player,[1] currently playing with English National League 2 South team Chinnor.[2] He previously played for the Eastern Province Kings in the Currie Cup and Cornish Pirates in the Championship. His position is fly-half or full-back.
Career[edit]
He started off playing for the Western Province U18s at the SA Academy Week, which earned him a call-up to the South Africa Academy team for the 2009 Craven Week tournament.
In 2010, he moved to the Sharks, where he got converted to a wing. In that season, he made 10 appearances for the Sharks' U19 team, scoring 4 tries. He was included in the Sharks XV 2011 Vodacom Cup squad, but failed to make an appearance. In the 2011 Under-21 Provincial Championship competition, he made 6 appearances, scoring 5 tries.
In 2012, he joined the Eastern Province Kings, where he was included in their Vodacom Cup squad. He made his first class debut for them against Argentine team Pampas XV,[3] making six appearances in total in that competition and scoring one try. For the rest of the season, he reverted to the Under–21 team which won the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship.
He wasn't included in the squad in 2013 and signed a deal to join Cornish Pirates for 2013–14.[4] In November 2015, Goss joined National League 2 South side Chinnor on loan,[5] before joining the team on a full-time basis prior to the 2016–17 season.[6]
