Durban City announce full agreement with former CT City keeper

In a move that signals their ambition, newly-promoted Durban City FC have secured the services of experienced South African international Darren Keet to guard their nets in the upcoming Premiership campaign. The 35-year-old goalkeeper arrives with a wealth of top-flight experience, having spent the past four years between the posts for Cape Town City FC before their unfortunate relegation.

This acquisition represents more than just a safe pair of hands - it's a statement of intent from the Premiership newcomers. Keet brings with him 10 Bafana Bafana caps and the kind of top-level composure that could prove invaluable for a team looking to establish themselves in South Africa's elite division.

"Durban City FC is proud to welcome seasoned shot-stopper Darren Keet," the club announced, hinting at the leadership qualities they hope he'll bring to their dressing room. His arrival solves what could have been a problematic position for the newcomers, while simultaneously denying a potential rival the chance to sign the proven keeper.

The transfer carries an intriguing subplot - Keet now gets the opportunity to prove his former club wrong for letting him go after their demotion to the second tier. For Durban City, they've not just signed a goalkeeper; they've acquired top-flight experience, national team pedigree, and perhaps most importantly - a player with a point to prove.

As preseason preparations begin, all eyes will be on whether this canny signing can help Durban City defy the odds and survive their maiden Premiership voyage. One thing's certain - between the sticks, they've got a keeper who's seen it all before.
