Formidable Dolphins’ squads confirmed
The Dolphins men’s and women’s squads for the upcoming season has been confirmed with a few exciting new faces joining the Hollywoodbets-backed sides.
Following the conclusion of the previous season the Dolphins men’s side said goodbye to Grant Roelofsen, Andile Phehlukwayo and Odirile Modimokoane, who will be joining the Rocks, the Titans and North West respectively.
From a ladies’ perspective there has been encouraging continuity with just Luyanda Nzuza moving to the Knights on loan.
The Dolphins Men’s team have bolstered their squads with some exciting young talent.
After some strong performances for the Dolphins over the past few seasons, former Kearsney College star Brad Porteous has been awarded his first full contract with the Dolphins and will be joined by 22-year-old Hanu Viljoen, who moves to Durban from the Northern Cape.
After impressing in his first stint with the Dolphins, young seamer Tristan Luus has been awarded a rookie contract along with the SA Under 19 teammate and former Westville pupil Romashen Pillay.
Dolphins High Performance members, Banele Cele and Slade van Staden have been added to the greater Dolphins Men’s squad.
From a women’s squad perspective, they will be adding an exciting member to their squad. Joining the Dolphins from the start of the new season will be the experienced Namibian international Yasmeen Khan.
