Matrose initially joined the Buccaneers in July 2022 following his impressive breakout season with Chippa in the 2021/22 season but was loaned back to the Chilli Boys for the 2022/23 season because he was still in school.
The 21-year-old returned to Pirates at the beginning of the 2023/24 season, but suffered an injury and upon return to full fitness, he was sent to the club’s Diski Challenge side to regain match fitness.
