Biography Lockyear was born in Kimberley and educated at Kimberley Boys' High School.

A scrum–half, Lockyear was known as a good wet weather player. He represented Griqualand West and twice toured Europe with combined varsity sides. After playing four home Test matches against the All Blacks in 1960, Lockyear made his third visit to Europe in 1961, as a member of the Springboks.

During his six Springboks appearances, Lockyear amassed 20 points, all off his boot.
