Jacobus Francois Venter (born 19 April 1991) is a South African rugby union player. He usually plays as an inside-centre.
He previously played for the Cheetahs in the Pro14 and the Free State Cheetahs and the Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup.
Club career[edit]
In July 2013, it was announced that he would join the Cheetahs prior to the 2014 Super Rugby season on a two-year deal.[1] He was subsequently included in the Cheetahs squad for the 2014 Super Rugby season[2] and made his Cheetahs debut in a 21–20 defeat to the Lions in Bloemfontein.[3][4]
In March 2018, it was announced that Venter would join English Premiership side Worcester Warriors on a two-year contract from the 2018–19 season.[5] On 5 October 2022 all Worcester players had their contacts terminated due to the liquidation of the company to which they were contracted.[6]

International career[edit]
He was a member of the South Africa Under 20 team that competed in the 2010 and 2011 IRB Junior World Championships.[8][9]
In 2016, Venter was included in a South Africa 'A' squad that played a two-match series against a touring England Saxons team.[10] He was named in the starting line-up for their first match in Bloemfontein,[11] but ended on the losing side as the visitors ran out 32–24 winners.[12] He also started the second match of the series, scoring a try five minutes into the second half of a 26–29 defeat to the Saxons in George.[13]
