North Down have signed South African Nicolien Janse van Rensburg for the forthcoming 2026 season.

The 24-year-old all-rounder plays for South West Districts in her native land and this will be her first overseas assignment.

She is a right-arm seam bowler and a hard-hitting middle-order batter.

Van Rensburg will be hoping to bring some experience to a fairly youthful North Down side and hopefully have them challenging for silverware.

North Down Women were drawn away to Instonians in the first round of the Challenge Cup earlier this week.
