Born in Ladysmith, Truter was a wing three–quarter and represented Natal.[1]
Truter gained three caps in sporadic appearances for the Springboks during the early 1960s. He made his debut deputising for Jannie Engelbrecht against the touring Wallabies at Pretoria in 1963.[2] His next opportunity came the following year when South Africa hosted France for a one–off Test match at Springs. He was a member of the Springboks squad for their 1965 tour and scored a try against the Wallabies at Lang Park in his only international match of the trip.[3]
