Former Kaizer Chiefs star, Keagan Dolly, is close to finding a new home after leaving Amakhosi.

Dolly's time at Naturena was disappointing and riddled with injuries after joining the club from Montpellier in 2021.

Dolly was released by the Soweto giants a few days ago as his contract was winding down.

According to Far Post, DStv Premiership side, SuperSport United are keen on securing the signature of the veteran midfielder.

Dolly's three-season spell at Kaizer Chiefs saw him make just 67 appearances, score 14 goals and assist 11 times. Injuries limited him to eight appearances in the 2023/24 season.

His first season at Naturena was decent. He contributed seven goals and five assists in 26 games, then registered five goals and four assists in 26 games in his second season.

The club is preparing to announce Nasreddine Nabi as their new coach in the coming days.

The 31-year-old has also played for Ajax Cape Town (now known as Cape Town Spurs) and PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

When will Dolly join SuperSport?

The Far Post report adds that, according to a source, Dolly will join Matsatsantsa in the coming days and will bring much-needed experience to the club.

“Keagan Dolly will arrive at SuperSport United in the coming days after leaving Kaizer Chiefs as a free agent. The club is looking for experience to come and complement their youthful squad for the next season because they want to compete.”

SuperSport finished seventh in the PSL last season. They won 11 games, drew 11 and lost eight matches.

Kaizer Chiefs replacements for Dolly

Sports Brief earlier listed players Kaizer Chiefs can sign to replace the departing Dolly.

Al Ahly and Bafana Bafana star, Percy Tau, is first on the list, which also includes Elias Mokwana and Devin Titus.

Chiefs could pounce on Tau, whose contract situation with the Egyptian giants is unclear, while Mokwana remains a target for the Glamour Boys.
