Elton Thomas Jantjies was born on August 1, 1990, in Middelburg, Eastern Cape, South Africa. He attended Hoërskool Florida and quickly showcased his talent in rugby, primarily playing as a fly-half. Jantjies made his professional debut with the Lions during the 2011 Super Rugby season. During this period, he steered the Golden Lions to the Currie Cup title in 2011, a performance that earned him the Man of the Match award after successfully converting every goal attempt in the final match against the Sharks. His early career saw him establish a reputation for his kicking abilities, combined with his defensive commitment and willingness to engage at the gainline. In 2011, he was honored with the SARU Young Player of the Year award and the SA U20 Player of the Year award, marking him as a rising star in South African rugby.
Jantjies made his international test debut for the South Africa national rugby union team, the Springboks, on September 29, 2012, against Australia in Pretoria during the inaugural Rugby Championship. He registered his first points for the Springboks shortly after, kicking two penalties against New Zealand in October 2012. After being initially overlooked for the 2015 Rugby World Cup squad, he earned a Springbok chance in 2016 and further cemented his position, scoring his first test try in a 37-15 victory over France in June 2017. He was a key player for the Lions, helping them reach three consecutive Super Rugby Finals from 2016 to 2018. In 2017, he was the highest points scorer in the Super Rugby competition with 203 points. A significant career highlight came in 2019 when Jantjies was part of the Rugby World Cup-winning squad, contributing 14 conversions to South Africa’s success. As of May 2020, he had accumulated 140 Super Rugby appearances and scored 1145 points in the tournament.
Following his time with the Lions, Jantjies had stints with various international clubs, including Pau in France in 2021, where he helped the team retain their Top 14 status, and Urayasu D-Rocks in Japan. He continued to represent the Springboks until 2022, facing teams like the British & Irish Lions. In 2023, Jantjies joined Agen in France. However, his professional playing career was effectively ended in January 2024 when he received a four-year ban from rugby due to a positive test for the banned substance Clenbuterol. Since then, he has transitioned into a coaching role with the youth rugby program Rugga Schools in Johannesburg, focusing on individual player development and using his experience to mentor younger athletes.
