The 36-year-old shot-stopper retired at the end of the 2025/26 season despite having a year remaining on his contract with Durban City, bringing an 18-year professional career to an end.
Instead of continuing between the posts, the former Cape Town City goalkeeper decided to take up a coaching opportunity in Canada, with the move also seeing him relocate with his family.
Keet recently shared a glimpse into his new life on social media, describing the post as a "little life update of what's going on" since his retirement.
The former shot-stopper explained that the opportunity to move into coaching came at a time when he was ready to consider life beyond playing.
"Hey everyone, just an update on life as it is at the moment and life since retirement. As many of you know, I recently retired from playing professional soccer after 18 years in the game, which went between South Africa and Belgium and playing for the national team. But after 18 years, I got an opportunity, which doesn’t happen often: a coaching job," explained Keet.
Having spent almost two decades playing professionally, Keet now faces the challenge of passing on his experience to the next generation.
His career included spells in South Africa and Belgium, as well as representing Bafana Bafana at international level.
While retirement could have marked the end of his involvement in professional football, Keet's decision to move into coaching has allowed him to remain within the game.
