Clean sheets

1.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.09 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 0.6, Kekana carries the 58th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier Soccer League of 70. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
