A mid-season signing from Wellington Phoenix, Brockie has found the net in each of his first two matches with Pretoria-based SuperSport United.

He grabbed the only goal in a 1-0 win over Mpumalanga Black Aces, and followed up by putting his side ahead as it beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 to hand the league leader its first defeat of the season.

SuperSport captain Thabo September believes Brockie will add plenty more to his tally.

"With the kind of players we have in the team and the chances we are creating, there is no doubt that he is still going to score more goals in the league this season," he told the KickOff.com website

September said Brockie took what he did in practice into matches.

"He always puts more effort into his work at training," he said.

"He has good touches, can shoot with both feet and likes to get into the box."

Brockie said it was good for a striker at a new club to get among the goals early.

"But at the end of the day, whether I'm scoring or not, it's the three points that really matters," the 27-year-old said.

Despite the loss, Kaizer Chiefs still has a 10-point lead over its closest rivals in the 16-team league after 20 matches.

SuperSport, which has a game in hand, is sixth, 20 points behind.
