Newly promoted side Durban City FC have moved swiftly to boost their goalkeeping department with the signing of ex-Cape Town City FC goalie Darren Keet.
The Bafana Bafana goalkeeper spent the past four seasons at the Citizens, who have now been relegated to the Motsepe Foundation Championship. CT City suffered relegation via the 2024/25 campaign PSL Promotional/Relegation Playoffs.
On the other hand, Durban City have been beefing up their playing personnel as well as the technical staff ahead of the new season.
Some of the seasoned players who have been training with the club include Haashim Domingo, Thabo Nodada, Thulani Hlatshwayo, and Thabang Sibanyoni. Durban City have brought in an experienced coach in Gavin Hunt, who has four premiership titles under his belt.
