Van Wyk made his senior debut for the Blue Bulls in the 2011 Vodacom Cup against the Border Bulldogs.[2] He didn't feature for the seniors again that season, or in 2012, but was included in the 2013 Vodacom Cup squad, where he made three starts before he was included on the Bulls squad for their 2013 Super Rugby season match against the Waratahs, coming on as a 53rd-minute substitute.[3]
In 2013, Van Wyk signed a contract extension to keep him at the Blue Bulls until 2015.[4] He joined Japanese Top Kyūshū League side Munakata Sanix Blues before the 2015–2016 season.[5]
