He represented his local Western Province provincial union since primary school level, when he played at the Under-13 Craven Week tournament held in Krugersdorp in 2007.

[30] He made ten starts and three appearances off the bench in Western Province's fourteen matches, of which they won thirteen to top the log.

[31] Solomon had his most proficient try-scoring season of his career, scoring no less than six tries, against Griquas[32] the Griffons,[33] the Falcons,[34] the SWD Eagles,[35] the Boland Cavaliers[36] and the Border Bulldogs,[37] to finish as Western Province's joint-top try scorer with winger Khanyo Ngcukana.
