History
[edit | edit source]The Rockets, as TS Galaxy is known, was formed in 2015. The club campaigned in the SAFA Second Division for three seasons before purchasing the National First Division status of Cape Town All Stars in 2018[2][3]
On Saturday 18 May 2019, TS Galaxy won its first trophy, the Nedbank Cup, after beating Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 through a Zakhele Lepasa penalty scored in the second minute of second-half injury time. By doing so, the club became the first team in South African football to win the Nedbank Cup while campaigning in National First Division. [4]
Stars competed in the 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup, where they were eliminated by Enyimba of Nigeria in the play-off round.
In September 2020, the club purchased the Premiership status of Highlands Park, and appeared in the 2020–21 South African Premiership season, finishing ninth.[5][6]
In June 2024, after finishing a record sixth in the 2023–24 Premiership, the club was handed a three window ban on registering new players by FIFA for unpaid fees to their ex-striker, Bernard Yao Kouassi.[7]
