Career
[edit]Downey started his career at the Sharks, making his debut for their Vodacom Cup side, the Natal Wildebeest in the 2008 Vodacom Cup competition. He was included in the Sharks squad for the 2009 Super 14 season and even named on the bench for their match against the Force in Perth, but failed to make an appearance.[1]

Downey returned to the Sharks prior to the 2013 Currie Cup Premier Division.[2]
