Career
Youth
Jonker was selected to represent Border in several youth tournaments. In 2007, he played for them in the Under-13 Craven Week competition, in 2010 he played at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week and in 2012 he played at the Under-18 Craven Week competition.
He subsequently joined their academy and played for the Border U19 side in the 2012 and the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championships. He helped them win promotion from Division B to Division A in 2012, but was also part of the side that got relegated back to Division B in 2013.
Border Bulldogs
His first class debut came during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition. With the Border Rugby Football Union in financial strife,[2] they only had eleven contracted players on their books and gave opportunities to some of their academy players, with Jonker being one of those.[3] He made his debut in their Round One match against the Sharks XV in East London.[4] He started all seven of their matches in the competition and also scored his first try in their final match against the Boland Cavaliers in Piketberg.[5]
His performances in that competition also led to his inclusion in the Border Bulldogs squad for the 2014 Currie Cup qualification series[6] and he made his Currie Cup debut in the opening match of that competition by coming on as a second-half substitute in their match against Griquas in Kimberley.[7]
