As a scholar at Merensky High School in Tzaneen, Van Wyk was selected in the Limpopo Blue Bulls Under-16 squad for the Grant Khomo Week competition in 2007 and for their Under-18 Craven Week squad in 2009.

In 2010, he joined the Zululand Rugby Academy and played for the Sharks U19 side in the 2010 Under-19 Provincial Championship, making twelve appearances. In 2011, the Zululand Rugby Academy relocated to East London and became part of the Border Bulldogs.

After reverting to the Border U21 side for the latter half of the 2012 season, he returned to the first team for the 2013 Vodacom Cup, making seven appearances. His Currie Cup debut came during the 2013 Currie Cup First Division season, playing off the bench in their 36–12 defeat to the SWD Eagles. After two more substitute appearances, he started his first match for the Bulldogs in a 22–20 win over the Griffons in East London. He remained in the first team for the remainder of the campaign, starting a further ten matches.
