Janine van Wyk: Banyana defender joins Fortuna Hjorring

Danish outfit Fortuna Hjorring has secured the services of Janine van Wyk from South Africa's Sasol Women's League side JVW FC.

On Saturday, JVW announced that the veteran defender flew to Denmark to finalise her contract with Carrie Kveton's side.

The breakthrough is happening a few weeks after her Bedfordview-based side participated in the 2019 Dana Cup, and is part of its strategy to establish a partnership with the Hjorring-based outfit.

Van Wyk's switch comes 12 years after the Banyana defender's botched trial at the Danish club in 2007, before another failed move to Bristol City in 2012.
