Former Kaizer Chiefs star improves TS Galaxy's young talent
The ex-Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs forward Dolly made a significant impact on Ndamane and his teammates at the Rockets. Dolly joined TS Galaxy in November 2024 after a period without a club. Despite initial concerns about his fitness, Dolly's influence both on and off the field has been undeniable. Ndamane, a former Kaizer Chiefs junior, says Dolly's presence has been a source of inspiration for the younger players, providing them with valuable insights and guidance. According to Ndamane, the former Kaizer Chiefs captain's ability to read the game and his technical skills have elevated the team's performance, fostering a more cohesive and confident squad. 'The presence of Keagan Dolly is helping us a lot, as youngsters, we know where he's coming from in his career,' Ndamane told FARPost . 'Sometimes we see old videos of where he used to play, and that makes us believe that at some point we're also going to get opportunities to play overseas. 'He also helps us to improve. If we lose the ball on the field, he tells us not to drop our heads, and that helps us to keep going. And it's not only him, even senior players like Mlungisi [Mbunjana] are helping us young players,' Ndamane concluded.
