Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Keagan Dolly excited about the TS Galaxy project after months in limbo - 'We're just looking forward to enjoying football again'

On Monday, TS Galaxy took to their social media platforms to announce the signing of former Kaizer Chiefs attacker Keagan Dolly.

The 31-year-old spent three seasons with Amakhosi, making over 60 appearances, but he did not win any silverware during his tenure and found himself facing criticism over his fitness, form and rumoured earnings.

His arrival comes at a crucial time for the Rockets as they rebuild following the departure of coach Sead Ramovic.

Adnan Beganovic, his former assistant, has now stepped up as head coach, with Vuyo Mere as his assistant.

Dolly, a CAF Champions League winner when he was at Sundowns, expressed his excitement about joining TS Galaxy and embarking on a new chapter in his career.

“[I am] excited to join this family. It has been a couple of months; everyone knows that I have been away from football and not having a team,” Dolly told the club media department yesterday as reported by Sowetan.

“But I’ve always said that we’re looking for the best project that will suit me and my family, and we found a family in TS Galaxy. We could not be happier... and we’re just looking forward to enjoying football again, work hard and contribute to the team on and off the field because I feel there are a lot of youngsters at the club who are exciting and I’m just going to try my best and help them contribute and score a few more goals.

“I just want to enjoy football, I feel like I owe it to myself; I owe it to the people around me and I owe it to the club, its supporters and the chairman for allowing me to come here and play football and try to help where I can.”

“I felt the love on my Twitter page, which is X now, messages from people that also know me from my WhatsApp,” he said.

“That makes me feel excited as well. For me, it's just to tell them we are really working hard off the field as a team and we are trying to do our best and we just want to get back to winning ways and doing so by playing good football and then making them happy.”

Keagan Dolly’s focus will be on staying injury-free, regaining match fitness, impressing the technical team, and contributing to the team’s overall success both on and off the pitch.

With Dolly on board, TS Galaxy will aim to stabilize their performance, incorporating his experience into their squad.

The team will look to climb off the bottom of the league table and return to their winning ways as they rebuild under Beganovic.

Their next fixture is against Sekhukhune United.
