“Very close, I would say very close,” Baxter said according to Kickoff.

“When Keagan signed, he’d had a long period of inactivity so both his sharpness and his touch and his endurance was lacking.

“He’s worked really hard, he’s a great lad to have around the place and when he’s got on – he’s gone on in both of our games and in a friendly against SuperSport [United] – he’s done really well with the time he’s had on the pitch.

“Now, you can understand that the temptation for me is to throw him in, but I think we’d then be looking at a hamstring injury or a soft tissue injury if we do that, so I’m battling a little bit with myself not to throw him in too soon.”
