Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has hailed the resurgence of the club's top performer and stand-in captain, Keagan Dolly.

As the club's marquee signing last campaign, Dolly stood head and shoulders above his teammates. Not only was he Amakhosi's top performer, but he chipped in with vital goals and assists for the Glamour Boys.
But with a host of changes ringing at the club, the 29-year-old experienced an early season dip in form, which led to him being omitted from the Bafana Bafana squad, and subsequently rested by Zwane on the Chiefs bench.
Now, the Chiefs number 10 looks back to his best.
So far, he has scored four goals for Chiefs and laid one assist, something which Zwane attributes to his professionalism and lifestyle off the pitch.
"Look, a dip in form happens to the best players in the world, any player can lose form – but it also depends how he recovers. In terms of his professionalism how he does things on and off the field and I have no doubt that Keagan is one of the players that takes football very serious," Zwane told journalists at the MTN8 press conference on Thursday.
"So other than maybe losing his form, there are no other worries about him and that is why now you can see that he is regaining his form and he is doing well for the club, which is very key," he elaborated.

Dolly managed to find the all-important equalizer against AmaZulu in the first leg at the FMB Stadium the last time out and will be hoping to lead his side all the way to the final when they do battle against Usuthu at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday.
Kick off is at 15:30.
