Exciting times lie ahead for Keagan Dolly, the former Kaizer Chiefs winger, as he gears up for the next chapter in his career.
Recent reports from iDiski digital newspaper indicate that Dolly is in discussions with several clubs in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), creating a buzz about his potential new home.
At just 31, he’s eager to embrace fresh opportunities after an unexpected twist in his professional journey.
A Surprising Departure from Kaizer Chiefs
Dolly’s exit from Kaizer Chiefs caught many off guard, especially after conversations about extending his contract.
The decision to part ways came after he made only eight appearances in the 2023/2024 season, which raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike.
However, it’s worth noting that Dolly still boasts impressive stats from his time with the Chiefs—14 goals and 11 assists across 67 matches—outperforming his previous record at Mamelodi Sundowns, where he scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists in 61 games before moving to Montpellier.
Achievements with Mamelodi Sundowns
When we look back at Dolly’s career, it’s clear that his most notable accomplishments were achieved during his time at Mamelodi Sundowns.
He was instrumental in securing major titles, including the CAF Champions League, the league title, and the Telkom Knockout.
Dolly, alongside teammates Leonardo Castro and Khama Billiat, formed a formidable attacking trio that left a lasting impact on South African football.
In contrast, his tenure with Kaizer Chiefs was marked by a lack of silverware, contributing to the club’s ongoing trophy drought.
Exploring New Opportunities
Following his release, Dolly quickly found himself in discussions with SuperSport United.
However, CEO Stan Mathews confirmed that the club could only sign one player, ultimately choosing former Orlando Pirates winger Vincent Pule.
Since then, Dolly has attracted interest from multiple PSL teams and even some clubs abroad. He’s been diligent about staying in shape, training independently after recovering from a broken toe.
Insights from Dolly’s Agency
A representative from Siyavuma Sports Group shared insights into Dolly’s current situation, stating, “Keagan Dolly has had some good interest, but we have not found the right opportunity that ticks all the boxes for him.”
The agency revealed that there was a deal in principle, and he even passed a medical examination for one club, but unfortunately, that agreement fell through at the last minute.
They emphasized Dolly’s readiness to return: “Keagz is a top professional; he’s ready to go, and we are sure the right opportunity will present itself soon. He is in great shape and eager to get back on the training pitch.”
Overcoming Setbacks and Future Prospects
Dolly’s time at Kaizer Chiefs was not without its challenges.
His agency remarked, “Contrary to what social media sometimes likes to say, Keagan’s data overall at KC was very good, especially in his first two seasons.”
Unfortunately, injuries—including a troublesome knee and a broken toe—affected his performance last season.
As his representatives pointed out, “You can’t play football with a broken toe.”
With his sights set on new challenges, the football world is eager to see what comes next for this talented player.
