Career
Bardoul started out his senior career with Waikato, however a lack of game time saw him join the Bay of Plenty Steamers in 2013.[6] The Steamers were relegated from the ITM Cup Premier Division in 2013 and then finished bottom of the Championship the following year, however Bardoul's own personal performances were strong. He was called up to the Chiefs wider training group towards the end of the 2013 Super Rugby season to cover for the injured Michael Leitch[6] and won a full-time contract in 2015.[5]
