Loubser was born in Vredenburg, but finished his schooling at Hoërskool Menlopark in Pretoria. He was selected to represent the Blue Bulls at the 2014 and 2015 Under-18 Craven Week tournaments, and also earned a selection to the South Africa Schools squad in both seasons. He played in all six of South Africa Schools' matches in those seasons, scoring two tries in his first match against France.[1]

He got his first taste of first class rugby in 2018, for the Blue Bulls XV in the Rugby Challenge. He made his debut in his side's defeat to the Pumas in the opening match of the competition.[2] His first (and second) senior tries came the following week in a 73–20 victory over Namibian side the Welwitschias,[3] and he eventually made seven appearances, scoring 22 points.

In 2019, Loubser moved to Port Elizabeth to join the Southern Kings Pro14 franchise. He made his Pro14 debut in the opening round of the 2019–20 Pro14 season, starting their match against the Cardiff Blues at fullback,[4] and scoring a try in their 27–31 defeat.[5]
