Rugby career
2013–2016: Free State Cheetahs and CUT Ixias
He was born in Upington, but attended Grey College in Bloemfontein. He was selected to represent the Free State Cheetahs at the Under-18 Craven Week in Polokwane in 2013.
After school, he joined the Free State Cheetahs’ academy, and he made seven starts for the Free State U21 team in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, scoring 22 points.
He made four appearances for the Bloemfontein-based university side CUT Ixias in the 2015 Varsity Cup in a poor season that saw the team lose all seven of their matches. He again played for the Free State U21 team in the Under-21 Provincial Championship in the second half of the year, making eleven starts and scoring 23 points as the team made it to the final of the competition before losing 17–52 to Western Province U21.
He made a further six starts for CUT Ixias in the 2016 Varsity Cup, helping them to two victories and sixth place on the log. He was also included in the Free State XV squad that competed in the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series, but he failed to make any appearances in the competition.
2016–present: Montpellier
Henry Immelman moved to France in July 2016 to join Top 14 side Montpellier, signing a youth contract with the team. He made his debut for the senior team in their Round 6 match against Brive, replacing Alexandre Dumoulin for the second half of the match.
