Durban - Jeremy Brockie is fast turning into SuperSport United’s most valuable asset. The New Zealand international scored the only goal of the game in Saturday afternoon’s 1-0 win at Maritzburg United, taking his tally on South African soil to six goals from nine matches since joining Gordon Igesund’s squad in January.
South Africa has long battled for an abundance of quality strikers in the PSL. In 2013/14, Kaizer Chiefs’ Bernard Parker topped the scoring charts with 10 league goals all season. It is understandable, then, that Brockie’s swift adjustment to South African domestic football has been met with excitement.
Both Igesund and Maritzburg coach Steve Komphela were full of praise for the 27-year-old finisher after Saturday’s gruelling battle at Harry Gwala Stadium. So big has Brockie’s influence become that Igesund decided to sacrifice him before the hour mark against Maritzburg (Brockie was on a yellow card) to ensure that he was available for this weekend’s Nedbank Cup quarter-final against first division outfit Golden Arrows.
