He joined the Pretoria-based Bulls on a one-year deal for the 2017 Super Rugby season.
On 24 April 2019 it was announced that he would be joining the Sale Sharks ahead of the 2019–20 Premiership season.
International career
In May 2014, De Jager was one of eight uncapped players that were called up to a Springbok training camp prior to the 2014 mid-year rugby union internationals.
De Jager was named in South Africa's squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup. South Africa won the tournament, defeating England in the final.
