Career
Youth
Rust started his career representing the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] at various youth tournaments. He played for their Under-16 side at the 2008 Grant Khomo Week, which also led to his inclusion in the South African Under-16 Elite Squad in the same year.[2] He then played at Under-18 level for SWD at the 2009 Academy Week tournament and in the 2010 Craven Week competition.
Rust then moved to Pretoria, where he joined the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]. He played for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side in the 2011 Under-19 Provincial Championship competition and for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side in the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship competition.
Rust failed to break into their senior squad, however, and joined the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in 2013. While he was named in their squad for the 2013 Vodacom Cup, he never made an appearance for the Bloemfontein-based side. In the latter half of the year, he made a few appearances for both the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] and [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] sides in the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship competition.
Senior career
Rust returned to the Western Cape in 2014, where he was included in the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side for the 2014 Vodacom Cup.[3] He made his senior debut against near-neighbours [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the opening match of the season,[4] Rust finished as the top scorer for the Cavaliers during the competition, scoring 41 points,[5] including a 21-point haul in their match against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Piketberg.[6][7]
