Nasreddine Nabi lauds Kaizer Chiefs management for Rushwin Dortley's signing - 'He is a big player'

Former Cape Town Spurs defender Rushwin Dortley is among the new players signed by Kaizer Chiefs in the most recent Premier Soccer League transfer window.

The 22-year-old was brought in to help improve the Glamour Boys' defence that was struggling for stability.

Since joining Amakhosi, Dortley has featured in all seven competitive games played by the Soweto Giants across all competitions.

He has kept his counterpart Thatayaone Ditlhokwe out of the starting XI.

Dortley played all six matches as South Africa qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations without tasting defeat in Group K.

Despite his exploits, coach Nasreddine Nabi insists the young defender has not yet realised his full potential.

“Dortley is a big player but has the potential for progression," the former AS FAR Rabat coach stated.

“He has a big potential, a good personality, a very good education, and is a lovely guy, but I’m sure he is in 60%, 70% for his performance if he gives more.

"I’m happy for his recruitment, a big thank you to the [Chiefs] committee for his recruitment," Nabi concluded.

Chiefs have gone nine seasons without winning a trophy, but the project initiated this season looks promising.

Dortley has to continue developing by giving his best from training to the pitch which will help him achieve his dream of playing abroad.
