Rushwin Dortley (born 2 May 2002) is a South African professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Kaizer Chiefs in the South African Premiership and the South Africa national team.
Club career
Playing several seasons in the National First Division, Dortley gained national attention when Kaizer Chiefs reportedly bid 3 million rand to sign him. He was an interesting prospect as a left-footed central defender. Following reports that "the player’s representatives have decided to rather secure a move to Europe",[1] Dortley went on trial with FC Nordsjælland in the summer of 2022.[2][3][4]
International career
Dortley has captained South Africa U-23.[5] On 26 June 2024, he made his debut for the senior squad in a 2024 COSAFA Cup match, scoring in a 1–1 draw with Mozambique.[6]
