Wits CEO Jose Ferreira is annoyed by the Keet contract issue.
“The Keet story has gotten out of hand,” Ferreira told DailySun. “There is no such thing as automatic renewal in the league. I would like to discuss other players whose contracts are expiring and all I get is about Keet, please guys. Keet has a contract with Wits until end of the season, and beyond that we will see.”
Meanwhile, Wits coach Gavin Hunt confirmed that Keet will play in Wits’ last game of the season against Golden Arrows on Saturday.
“He is still our player and he will play in the last game. Look, Darren has ambitions…it is up to him.
“He knew there was an offer made. I am not sure what happened except that there was an offer made,” said Hunt.
