“I am excited to be here and looking forward to the challenge of playing football in South Africa. I have great memories of the country from the Confed and World Cups,” said Brockie

“I had a great time with The Phoenix, but I wanted a new challenge, it will be a tough challenge, but I’m up for it!”

SuperSport United Head Coach Gordon Igesund said: “I am really excited to be bringing a player like Jeremy Brockie to SuperSport United. We have been following him for a long time, I saw him play against Bafana Bafana, when we toured there, and I am looking forward to seeing the qualities he has shown playing in the A League and for New Zealand, in SuperSport colours.”
