Om deur \u2019n Franse rugbyklub raakgesien te word, is \u2019n groot erkenning van enige rugbyspeler se vermo\u00eb. En toe die voormalige Boland Kavallier, Chris van der Merwe, vir Jovelian de Koker in 2018 nader om sy loopbaan in Frankryk voort te sit \u2013 n\u00e1 nog \u2019n briljante vertoning vir die Boland Kavalliers teen WP, wat by die Esselenparkstadion 24 elk gelykop ge\u00ebindig het \u2013 het die losskakel nie gehuiwer nie. En nou het die gewilde speler na Esselenpark as sy nuwe tuisveld teruggekeer.<\/p>\n
De Koker is \u2019n oud-leerder van Worcester-Oos Prim\u00ear en Worcester Gimnasium en kom uit \u2019n familie met \u2019n ryk rugbytradisie. Sy pa, Johan, was \u2019n gerespekteerde provinsiale speler vir SWD en Boland Rugby en het later \u2019n uiters suksesvolle klub- en provinsiale afrigter geword. Vir Jovelian was klubrugby in Frankryk \u2019n beslissende hoogtepunt in sy loopbaan, nadat hy die Kavas reeds in \u2019n indrukwekkende 50 wedstryde met onderskeiding verteenwoordig het.<\/p>\n
Hy het dadelik \u2019n treffer in die noordelike halfrond geword, waar sy vermo\u00eb om deur duikslae te breek en drie\u00eb te druk, hom geweldig gewild gemaak het \u2013 \u2019n gewildheid wat hom terug hierheen gevolg het en waar hy ook al plaaslik gespeel het.<\/p>\n
In Frankryk het hy die broodnodige morele ondersteuning van sy mede-Worcesteriet die Blou Bulle-speler en Springbok en nou \u2019n klubafrigter, Heini Adams, geniet. Heini is Cheslin, die Young Hamiltons-afrigter, se broer. <\/p>\n
De Koker het Franse rugby as baie takties, tegnies en fisiek ervaar en het die voorreg gehad \u2013 iets waarvan die meeste rugbyspelers net kan droom \u2013 om saam met en teen internasionale spelers van Fidji, Samoa, Nieu-Seeland en Georgi\u00eb te speel.<\/p>\n
N\u00e1 vyf opwindende seisoene by Union Sportive Marmande het Jovelian in 2023 na Suid-Afrika teruggekeer en by Robertson RFC, die topspan in die Langeberg-streek, aangesluit. Hy was instrumenteel in die blou-en-wit truie se Top-12-sukses in 2023. Hulle het uiteindelik verlede jaar die Boland-titel verower.<\/p>\n
Vanjaar keer Jovelian uiteindelik \u201cterug huis toe, na Worcester\u201d, om by die Blue Forever-span, Young Hamiltons, aan te sluit \u2013 baie jare nadat hy Worcester Villagers verlaat het toe hy deur Boland gekontrakteer is.<\/p>\n
Hy sien uit na sy termyn by Esselenpark. Die \u201cPeople\u2019s Team<\/i>\u201d het die eerste keer sy aandag in 2018 getrek toe hy by afrigtingsessies voor sy vertrek na Frankryk betrokke was. <\/p>\n
Die dissipline van die spelers, hul spelstyl en die legendariese ondersteuning van die getroue vir-altyd-blou<\/i>–<\/span>ondersteuners het hom be\u00efndruk. Hy sien daarna uit om terug te ploeg in die rugbyontwikkeling van jongmense in die gemeenskap, waar hy blootgestel is aan die sport wat hom soveel pret, vreugde en plesier gebring het. <\/p>\n De Koker is getroud met Zhan\u00e9 en hulle het een baba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Om deur \u2019n Franse rugbyklub raakgesien te word, is \u2019n groot erkenning van enige rugbyspeler se vermo\u00eb.
