He previously played for the
Rugby career
2013–2014 : Western Province
Carelse was born in Somerset West. He attended and played rugby for Hottentots Holland High School, captaining their first team in 2013.[3] He was selected to represent Western Province at the Under-18 Academy Week in the same year, kicking four conversions in his three matches.
In 2014, he was a member of the Western Province U19 squad that participated in the 2014 Under-19 Provincial Championship.[4] He appeared in ten of their twelve matches during the regular season, scoring one try against the Golden Lions[5] and a brace in their 43–24 victory over the Leopards[6] as Western Province finished in third place on the log to qualify for the title play-offs.[7] Carelse was an unused replacement in their 29–22 victory over the Free State in the semi-finals,[8] but came on as a replacement in the final, helping his team win the title by beating the Blue Bulls U21s 33–26 in Cape Town.[9]
2015–present : Boland Cavaliers
Carelse moved to fellow
After starting two matches for the Boland U21 team in Group B of the 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship, he returned to the first team, making two starts and two appearances as a replacement in the Currie Cup First Division. The team had a poor season, losing all five matches, and Carelse failed to score any points for the side. He returned to the Under-21 team for their final match of the regular season, converting seven of his side's fifteen tries in a 101–19 victory over Border U21[17] to finish secure top spot on the log.[18] However, despite having home advantage in the semi-finals, they lost 15–19 to an SWD team that finished fourth on the log to be eliminated from the competition.[19]
Carelse established himself as the Boland Cavaliers' first choice fly-half for the 2016 Currie Cup qualification competition, appearing in all fourteen of their matches and starting ten of those. He scored a single try during the competition in a 37–25 victory over a Sharks XV[20] and contributed points with the boot in matches against Griquas[21] and the Griffons.[22] It proved to be a successful campaign under new head coach Brent Janse van Rensburg, with Boland finishing in third position in the competition[23] to qualify for the Premier Division for the first time since 2009. He made his debut at that level in their opening match of the season, a 16–44 defeat to the Free State Cheetahs in Wellington.[24]
