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]
