Durban City goalkeeper Darren Keet announced he will retire at the end of the current season following their triumph in the Nedbank Cup.

Keet joined the club at the beginning of the current campaign after he parted ways with Cape Town City.

The 36-year-old has kept 14 clean sheets in 33 appearances across all competition so far this season.

Over the course of his career, Keet has managed to keep 145 clean sheets in 427 appearances in all competitions.

The veteran goalkeeper has since confirmed that he will call time on his career at the end of the season.

“Obviously it’s special,” said Keet as per Idiski.

“You know, my parents have been there, obviously throughout my whole career. My dad’s never really been one to be involved, so it’s nice for him to enjoy these moments, for them to enjoy my last trophy. And I’m hoping they enjoyed it.

“My dad cried a bit. I haven’t cried yet, but when I saw some of the players crying, then you feel like crying also.

“But happy tears at the moment and happy smiles at the moment, but very special for me to have my family and my parents and my wife and my kids just awesome, awesome experience overall.

“I’m not hinting at anything, I’m calling it quits at the end of the season. So Nedbank Cup was my first and Nedbank Cup is my last [trophy].”
