THE Hollywoodbets Dolphins have signed Proteas speedster Anrich Nortje for the upcoming CSA T20 Challenge starting this week.

The fast bowler hasn’t featured in a professional cricket match since the IPL in May with his last match for the Proteas being the T20 World Cup final in the West Indies in June last year.

The 31-year-old said he is ready to get himself back on the field.

“Everyone has been very welcoming, and it’s been a great environment so far and I’m really looking forward to getting going with the competition,” Nortje said. “From personal perspective and a group perspective it’s going to be great to get back out on the park.”

Nortje has been on a long road to recovery and has been taking the recovery in his stride.

“I’m always positive, always motivated, and excited but when you get towards the end [of injury rehabilitation] you want to get going because you know what is around the corner. So, the last week or two have probably been more frustrating than the other months!

“It’s always been about trying to see the positives and working towards a new goal of being better than I was before so I’m really happy where I am now and it’s all about getting out there and getting some games under my belt.”
