Keagan Larenzo Dolly (born 22 January 1993 in Johannesburg, Gauteng) is a South African football player who plays as a midfielder for Montpellier in the Ligue 1. He won the Premier Soccer League Young Player of the Season award for the 2013–14 season after showing great performances and becoming a key player for the club.
Dolly started playing football at Westbury Arsenal, then later he moved to School of Excellence where he was spotted by Mamelodi Sundows. After impressing at their youth structures he went on to sign with Ajax Cape Town.
He completed a move to Ajax Capetown and this is perhaps where Dolly made a reputation for himself. During a spell at Ajax he won the Premier Soccer League Young Player award for the 2013–14 season. This triggered Sundowns to buy him back from Ajax Capetown for their 2014-2015 season, but because of many players occupying the same position as Keagan during that season, Sundowns opted to loan him back to Ajax for the player to get more playing time.
Sundowns included Keagan Dolly to their squad for the 2015-2016 campaign as they intended to bolster their team for the league and for the Caf champions league. Dolly with Sundows went on to win the league for the 2015-2016 season, and they automatically qualified for the Caf champions league. Sundowns were eliminated by As Vita in the third round of the Caf Champions league but with the turn of events AS Vita Club were eliminated in the competition due to the finding that they had used an eligible player during the preliminary matches of the 2016 Orange CAF Champions League. Sundowns were reinstated to the competition and with the outstanding performances from Dolly and the whole team, Sundowns went on to win the competition. Dolly, Billiat and Onyango were nominated for best African Inter-Club Player of the Year (Based in Africa) of which was won by Keagan's teammate Dennis Onyango. Dolly was included in the 2016 Caf Team of the year. With outstanding performances from Dolly it eventually attracted interests from various clubs in Europe. In September 2016 it was announced that Olympiacos F.C. were interested in signing Dolly.
