Darren Keet (born 5 August 1989) is a South African professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Durban City in the Premiership.

Club career

Born in Cape Town, Keet was a member of the Vasco Da Gama squad that won promotion to the National First Division in 2008 before joining Premiership side Bidvest Wits. He made his Premiership debut with the Students in 2008 and quickly established himself as the club's number one goalkeeper making 54 league appearances until he signed for the Belgian club KV Kortrijk in June 2011 on a four-year contract.[5]

At the age of 36, Keet was in goal for Durban City's win in the 2025–26 Nedbank Cup. Following the match, Keet announced that he would be retiring at the end of that season.[6]

International career

On 10 September 2013, Keet made his international debut for South Africa in a friendly against Zimbabwe at Orlando Stadium, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 loss. Before the match he told that he wanted "to prove my worth to South Africa".[7]
