Willem Albertus Liebenberg born in Worcester, Albert has grown into a commanding lock, standing tall at 198cm, using his physical presence not for flair, but for graft, control, and consistency. He is the kind of player who does the unseen work — the hard carries, the heavy lifts, the uncompromising clean-outs — the moments that shape matches long before the scoreboard tells the story.
From Stellenbosch to France — And Back with Purpose
Alberts’s rugby journey has been shaped by discipline and adaptability. After honing his game with Maties Stellenbosch, he took his talents abroad to Lannemezan in France, where the physical nature of European rugby further sharpened his edge.
That experience added layers to his game — resilience, composure under pressure, and a deeper understanding of forward play — qualities he now brings back into the Griquas environment.
More Than Just Rugby
Off the field, Liebenberg brings the same discipline and balance that define his game. Not only focusing on the season, Albert is already laying foundations for life after rugby, with ambitions of becoming a Mechanical Engineer in the agricultural sector — a career aligned with his practical outlook and connection to the land.
It’s that same balance — power and precision, ambition and humility — that defines him both as a rugby player and as a person.
A Player Anchored in Values
In a game often dominated by noise and spotlight, Albert quietly goes about his work. He doesn’t chase headlines — he earns respect. Through consistency, physical commitment, and a deep-rooted sense of identity, Viervoet carries not just a jersey, but a family name and a standard.
And at Griquas, that kind of player always leaves a mark.
