Rising Stars: Canan Moodie


18 12 2025

23 year old South African Canan Moodie is already generating a buzz in the rugby world, having first impressed in January 2022 when he scored a try in his senior debut with the Bulls at the Currie Cup.

Later that year, Moodie was called up to represent South Africa at the 2022 Rugby Championship and marked the occasion with a try, becoming one of the youngest ever capped Springboks. Since then, the winger has helped lead South Africa to victory at the 2023 Rugby World Cup and 2024 Rugby Championship, and secured brand deals from the likes of PUMA and Mercedes. Moodie will round off 2025 playing for the Bulls in the United Rugby Championship, facing the Sharks on December 20.
