Jamba Isaac Ulengo (born 7 January 1990 in Vryburg, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Bulls.^[1] His regular position is wing.

Career

Youth and Varsity Cup rugby

He was chosen to represent the Free State at various youth levels while he was a scholar at Hoërskool Jim Fouché in Bloemfontein; in 2005 and 2006, he played at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week tournaments, in 2007 he played at the Under-18 Academy Week tournament and in 2008 he played at the Under-18 Craven Week tournament. He continued to play for the Bloemfontein-based side after school too, playing for the Free State U19 side in the 2009 Under-19 Provincial Championship and for the Free State U21 side in the 2010 and 2011 Under-21 Provincial Championships, scoring twelve tries during those two seasons, which included a hat-trick against the Falcons U21 in 2011.^[2]

He also played Varsity Cup rugby for the UFS Shimlas between 2010 and 2012, scoring eleven tries in eighteen appearances over the three seasons.

Free State Cheetahs

Despite his long-standing involvement with the Free State youth sides, he made just a single appearance for the senior side. This appearance – his first class debut – came during the 2012 Vodacom Cup competition when he started in the Free State XV's 36–22 defeat to the Eastern Province Kings in Port Elizabeth.^[3] He was included in the Free State Cheetahs squad for the 2012 Currie Cup Premier Division, but didn't make any appearances for them.

Sevens

Ulengo was a prominent member of the South Africa Sevens since making his debut for them in the Scotland leg of the 2011–12 IRB Sevens World Series.^[4] He played for them in the two final tournaments of that season and then signed a two-year contract with the South African Rugby Union to represent them in the 2012–13 and 2013–14 series.^[5] While he only competed at four events in his first full season, he was involved in seven of the tournaments in his second season. He also helped South Africa win the gold medal at the 2013 World Games.

Bulls

Ulengo made his return to the 15-man version of the sport, signing a contract to play Currie Cup rugby for Pretoria-based side the Blue Bulls in 2014 and for their Super Rugby franchise, the Bulls, from the 2015 Super Rugby season.^[6]
