After leaving school, Fourie represented Souths, and was named in the Queensland Reds academy squad in 2019. At the end of the 2019 season, Fourie was named in the 2020 Junior Wallabies squad for the annual Junior World Cup, but covid would see the tournament and any international matches for the year cancelled.
