Adnan Beganovic raises standards with new goalkeeper signing at TS Galaxy

Adnan Beganovic raises standards with new goalkeeper signing at TS Galaxy

Following TS Galaxy's narrow 2-1 defeat to Magesi FC, head coach Adnan Beganovic has doubled down on his mission to elevate standards within the squad — a goal reflected in the club's latest signing, Nigerian goalkeeper Kayode Bankole.

The 23-year-old, unveiled on October 17 after joining on a free transfer, is not just another addition to the Rockets' roster. For Beganovic, Bankole's arrival represents a calculated move to intensify competition and raise performance levels across the team.

"Kayode has been training with us for about one and a half months," Beganovic revealed after the match.

"We needed a second goalkeeper who could really challenge the first choice. It's important that no player feels too comfortable. I always want similar players in the same position so they can compete. If a player relaxes, performance drops. I want that drive in every training session.

"This mindset helps us improve and push for quality. If everyone keeps working hard, we'll only get stronger as a unit."

Galaxy's current position — eighth on the Betway Premiership table with 13 points from nine matches — reflects a solid but unspectacular start to the campaign. Yet Beganovic's message is clear: complacency has no place at the club.
