About Elton Jantjies
Elton Thomas Jantjies (born 1 August 1990) is a South African professional rugby union player who plays as fly-half. Jantjies made his professional debut with the Lions during the 2011 Super Rugby season, and his international debut with the Springboks during the inaugural Rugby Championship. He has received several significant sporting awards, including the SARU Young Player of the Year award (2010), and the SA U20 Player of the Year award (2010). In June 2014 it was reported that Jantjies had signed a contract with Japanese side NTT Communications Shining Arcs who play in the Top League. This move meant that he was ruled out for the Currie Cup competition in 2014. The fly-half tested positive for the substance Clenbuterol which is a banned substance and subsequently received a 4-year ban from rugby, ultimately ending his career in a swarm of controversies. He returned to the Lions who had won promotion back to the Super Rugby competition.
