See, Jeremy Brockie may be on loan at Maritzburg at the moment but he’s still a Mamelodi Sundowns player despite pretty clearly being on the outer there. His Sundowns contract ends on 30 June but there was an extension clause that the club had which came with a deadline of the final day of May. Then the first day of June he tweeted that.
Pretty obvious what that means and it’s a solution that would seem to suit all parties. Brockie needs to be somewhere he can play regularly in a role that suits his style of play and he wasn’t gonna get that at Sundowns. He’s also been a bit scarce for Maritzburg, only scoring once in 12 league games, although a lot of that has come playing off the bench. Dan Morgan and Jeremy Brockie still have the rest of that season to complete with the PSL expected to resume in July at a singular location and Maritzburg a chance at finishing in the continental spots if they can close out strong.
As for Jeremy Brockie’s future, he’s got his suitors out there. His old club SuperSport keep being mentioned. Kaiser Chiefs were keen on him before he signed with Sundowns. There’s also the A-League which would have to be a possibility considering his wife and kids are in Aussie at the moment (having gone back for lockdown). It’s been a rough couple years on the pitch but he’s only 32 and he’ll have options.
Mike Makaab, Brockie’s agent: “There are a number of clubs that are interested in his services. Jeremy is keen to do anything as long as he will get game time. At the moment that’s his priority - getting game time in a good environment. He is a great professional. He takes great care of himself. He has been unfortunate but I have no doubt that he will get back on his feet again. He is working very hard behind the scenes during this lockdown so that by the time PSL action resumes, he is ready to rediscover his goalscoring form. That’s what Jeremy is about.”
Up Next: The PSL hasn’t confirmed any fixtures yet, things are all still in discussion, and they also just lost their major sponsor of the last 16 years"
