TS Galaxy’s season has taken a welcome turn, with the club finally breathing easier after FIFA lifted the transfer ban that stalled their progress over the past two months. For coach Adnan Beganovic, the timing could not be better. With the Nedbank Cup heating up and league positions tightening, the Rockets now have room to rebuild and reinforce.

A dispute that cost the club time and money
The ban stemmed from a contractual issue involving Liberian striker Jegbay Morris, a case that dragged the club back into disciplinary trouble. For Galaxy, the setback was more than an administrative headache. It slowed their midseason momentum and forced the technical team to work with a stretched squad at a critical point in the campaign.
Beganovic has been clear that this must be a moment of learning for the club. Instead of pouring money into penalties or disputes, he believes resources should strengthen the club’s long-term future, especially its youth structures. It’s a sentiment shared across South African football, where development remains a crucial yet often neglected area.
New faces incoming
With the restriction lifted, Galaxy are finally ready to welcome fresh talent. Beganovic confirmed that the club will announce their new signings within days. He sees the arrivals as a boost not only for quality but for internal competition.
The Rockets have punched above expectations this season, hovering in the Betway Premiership’s top eight despite their challenges. Injecting new energy into the squad may be exactly what they need heading into the business end of the campaign.
Sundowns showdown demands calm and respect
Galaxy now turn their focus to a daunting Nedbank Cup last-16 clash against Mamelodi Sundowns. Beganovic struck a grounded tone when discussing the fixture, emphasising respect for a side that has dominated local football for years. For Galaxy, the approach is not about fear but about recognising Sundowns’ stature while backing their own improved squad depth.
Saturday’s match will offer a glimpse of how quickly Galaxy can integrate their reinforcements and steady themselves after a turbulent administrative spell. With the ban behind them and a clearer path ahead, the Rockets have an opportunity to reset their ambitions for the remainder of the 2025/26 season.
