Border Bulldogs

Ladendorf was included in the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] senior squad for the 2013 Vodacom Cup. He made his first class debut for them in their 24–25 defeat to a [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Alice, coming on as a first-half blood-bin replacement.[4] Two more appearances off the bench followed in their matches against Western Cape sides [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]][5] and [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]],[6] with the Border Bulldogs winning both matches. In the latter half of the year, he was involved in a disastrous campaign for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side in the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship. Ladendorf weighed in with two tries in each of their matches against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]],[7][8] but could not help his side losing all twelve of their matches in the competition. He scored a try in their relegation play-off match, to help them to a 23–21 victory against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]s for the second year in a row to once again remain in Group A.[9]
Falcons
Ladendorf was one of a number of players that moved from East London to Kempton Park-based outfit the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] for the 2014 season. He made two appearances for the Falcons in the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition.
