De Kock played schoolboy rugby for Paarl Boys' High School before enrolling at the Sharks academy in 2007. He played for the Sharks U19 side in 2007 and for the Sharks U21 side in 2008, missing out in 2009 due to injuries.

In 2013, he represented UJ in the Varsity Cup competition. He finished as the top scorer in the competition, scoring five tries and 22 conversions.

Sharks

He was included in the Sharks XV squad for the 2011 Vodacom Cup and made his first class debut in the opening match of the season against the Blue Bulls, scoring two tries to help the Sharks to a 30–19 victory. He scored a total of seven tries during the competition (which was joint fourth in the competition) and also scored seven conversions, to end the season with a total of 49 points.

Lazio

After the 2011 Vodacom Cup, De Kock moved to Italy, where he joined National Championship of Excellence side Lazio. He played in 17 matches for them, scoring 144 points to help Lazio finish in sixth place.

Return to South Africa

He returned to South Africa after one season at Lazio and played for Durban-based club side College Rovers. He scored a try and a 58-meter penalty late in the game to help College Rovers win the 2012 National Club Championships, the last edition of that tournament before being relaunched as the SARU Community Cup. He was also named Backline Player of the Tournament.

Golden Lions

He joined Johannesburg-based side Golden Lions for the 2013 season. In addition to playing in the Varsity Cup competition, he also made three appearances in the 2013 Vodacom Cup. His first taste of Currie Cup rugby came during the 2013 season, making substitute appearances against Western Province and Griquas.
