"With me and Khama I don’t know how to explain it. If I’m on the ball I know which run he is going to make and he knows how to run and where I am going to pass it. And vice versa, if he’s on the ball I know what to do," said Dolly.

Stuart Baxter drops Keagan Dolly's weight loss "secret"

Briefly News previously reported that when Keagan Dolly first joined Kaizer Chiefs, there was a lot of excitement in the air from fans as they looked forward to having some creativity in the midfield.

A big talking point though was his weight, as he looked a little chunkier than he did before. As a footballer, there's always pressure to be match fit and that also comes with keeping a healthy weight.

After working hard, Dolly shed the weight very quickly and now coach Stuart Baxter has revealed how the number 10 did it.

"He's worked hard. I can't take responsibility, I think from the coach comes inspiration, from the player comes motivation," said Baxter, according to a report by KickOff.
