Former Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United striker Jeremy Brockie brought smiles to South African football fans' faces

The New Zealander, currently plying his trade in Australia's lower leagues, joked on Twitter that he would like to offer his services to Kaizer Chiefs. This came as the club announced Samir Nurković, Lazarous Kambole, Lebogang Manyama, Daniel Cardoso, Leonardo Castro, Daniel Akpeyi and Kearyn Baccus wouldn’t have their contracts renewed at the end of this month.

As reported by TimesLIVE, Brockie said:

“I see there’s been a few exits at Kaizer Chiefs. Are they looking for Sniper?”

According to IOL, retired SuperSport United striker James Keene also joked he would be willing to come out of retirement if Amakhosi needed his services, saying:

"25 goals between us?"

According to the TimesLIVE article, Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung jnr said the club would be looking to recruit the best, adding:

“For me, the team will always be looking to bring the best and I think the fans are right in that we need to make sure we can lure the best. Part of that is also that players always wanted to play for Kaizer Chiefs because they knew they could win trophies at Chiefs. And that's a culture we have to get back.”
