“I’m really looking forward to it. I think it’s going to be a great next couple of years for me. I’m from Cape Town, I grew up in Cape Town, and I’ve only played my professional football outside of Cape Town.
“So, I’m excited to be back and to be part of Cape Town again, and a team like Cape Town City,” said Keet.
