Lionel Cronjé (born 25 May 1989) is a South African rugby union footballer, currently playing for The Sharks in the Carling Currie Cup. He is a versatile back-line player who can operate as a fly-half or full-back.
Career
Cronjé previously played for the Stormers and Western Province before making the move north ahead of the 2012 Super Rugby season.[1] He could play only five matches for the Blue Bulls due to a chest injury suffered in February 2012.[2]
He joined the Lions for 2013[3] and the Brumbies for 2014.[4]
He returned to South Africa later in 2014, signing a two-year deal with Durban-based side the Sharks.[5] He was released by the Sharks in November 2015.[6]
He joined Japanese Top League side Toyota Verblitz for the 2017–18 season.[7]
