Seabelo Mohanoe Senatla was born on February 10, 1993, in Welkom, South Africa. His professional rugby journey began with schoolboy rugby at Riebeeckstad High School, leading to selection for the Griffons’ Under-16 Grant Khomo Week in 2009 and the Under-18 Academy Week in 2010. He also played for the Griffons U19 side in the 2011 Under-19 Provincial Championship, where he scored four tries. In 2012, Senatla moved to Bloemfontein, playing for the university side CUT Ixias in the 2012 Varsity Shield competition. During this period, his try-scoring ability for the Free State U19 side, including two hat-tricks, led to his promotion to the Free State U21 side.
Senatla’s career progressed significantly when he signed a two-year contract with SARU to play for the Blitzbokke in the IRB Sevens World Series circuit starting in 2013. He debuted at the 2013 Wellington Sevens and participated in five tournaments during the 2012–13 IRB Sevens World Series. A notable achievement during this time was representing the team at the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens and earning a gold medal at the 2013 World Games in Cali. In December 2013, his contract with SARU was extended until December 2016, a period during which he topped the try-scoring charts for the Blitzbokke with 29 tries in the 2013–14 season. His success in Sevens rugby continued as he was named World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year in 2016, a significant personal milestone.
Simultaneously with his Sevens commitments, Senatla also played for Western Province in the Currie Cup competition. In 2014, he made his Super Rugby debut for the Stormers and later won the 2014 Currie Cup final with Western Province. He was part of the South Africa Sevens team at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where the team secured a bronze medal. He continued to compete in the World Rugby Sevens Series, contributing to the team’s championships in the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons. He currently plays for the Stormers in the URC and Western Province in the Currie Cup, with 69 DHL Stormers caps.
