The powerful flanker is quick on his feet and has brilliant skills which lead to him being contracted to the South African Sevens Academy.
He was included in the South Africa 7s squad ahead of the 2018/19 World Rugby 7s Series.
In January 2019, Pretorius was named in Blitzboks' traveling reserve for the Hamilton 7s, and a week later was included in the main squad for the Sydney event.
