Anthony Alfred Volmink (born 10 February 1990) is a South African rugby union player who plays as a wing or fullback for the Cheetahs in Pro14 on loan from Griquas in the Currie Cup and in the Rugby Challenge.[1]

Volmink made his Super Rugby debut on 2 June 2012 for the Lions against the Sharks in Johannesburg. Volmink started the game before being replaced by Ruan Combrinck in the 61st minute of a 38-28 Lions victory.[2]

On 27 April 2013, Volmink broke the South African tries-per-game record when he scored nine tries in the Golden Lions 161–3 victory over the hapless Limpopo Blue Bulls in the 2013 Vodacom Cup.[3]

Volmink formerly represented UWC in the Varsity Shield.[4]
