De Kock Steenkamp is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on February 16, 1987 in Williston, Northern Cape, South Africa. Michiel de Kock Steenkamp (born 16 February 1987) is a South African rugby union player who plays in the position of an eagle. He was a player with Western Province in the Currie Cup as well as the Stormers during Super Rugby between 2009 and the year 2014.
Steenkamp signed an extension to her contract in April 2013 and will remain permanently in Cape Town until 2015.
In September 2014, Welsh Pro12 side Ospreys announced that Steenkamp secured an early release from his contract and would join them for the 2014–15 Pro12 season. Steenkamp endured an injury-ravaged spell in Wales and after 14 months during which he played just two matches, he was released from his contract and returned to South Africa to complete his injury recovery.
2012 could be regarded as an exceptional season for Steenkamp. Though he was mostly used as an alternate in the Super Rugby season he provided impressive appearances off the bench to replace the likes of Bekker as well as Eben Etzebeth as well as helped lead the Stormers line-up when one of their top players suffered injuries. Then he was able to play in all of Western Province’s games in the 2011 Currie Cup and he was the key player when they won their first title in the last decade with winning 25-19 against the Sharks.

Steenkamp was part of a variety of Western Province age-level groups between 2005 and 2008, and made his debut as a senior against the Sharks in the 2009 Vodacom Cup. He had his first experience of Super Rugby the following year playing seven times for the Stormers but was forced to fill in for the absence of Springboks like Andries Bekker over the next two years.
Steenkamp is a native of Cape Town. He was was raised in Western Cape alongside older brother Wilhelm who was a player with the Bulls, Sharks, Cheetahs and Western Force in Super Rugby. He was a pupil at Paarl Boys’ High School, and was admitted to the school in 2005. He then went to take a course in Stellenbosch University. There he was a player in the Varsity Cup rugby for Maties during the inaugural tournament in 2008, and was a late substitute when his team won the trophy in an impressive 16-10 win over UCT.
An injury to Eben Etzebeth which ruled him out of much of the 2013 Super Rugby season saw Steenkamp become firmly entrenched in the Stormers starting XV. He made 13 starts in a largely disappointing campaign for the men from the Cape and earned a reputation as one of the most consistent performers in South African rugby. This reputation was enhanced by his performances in the Currie Cup later in the year as he started every game for Western Province. It was a season in which they would again reach the tournament final, but this time they fell just short, losing 33–19 at home to the Sharks.
