The New Zealand international enjoyed a successful three-year spell at SuperSport United in which he scored 41 goals and assisted a further 15 from 104 appearances in all competitions.
Brockie went on to join Sundowns during the January transfer window after signing a five-year deal at Chloorkop, but has been a shadow of his former self after failing to register a goal for the Brazilians as yet.
The former Toronto striker says he is looking forward to making an impact at the club and impress coach Pitso Mosimane in the process.

‘It’s always difficult coming halfway through the season, especially when you come to a team that’s top of the table and already has the combinations and stuff like that set,’ Brockie told Kickoff.com.
‘So I guess the pre-season has given me an opportunity to try to make an impact and put my name in the coach’s thoughts when it comes to selecting the 1st XI.
‘I’ve really worked hard in the last couple of weeks. I am in good shape, feeling fit and I am ready to take my opportunity and make an impact on the club this season.
‘I’ve been scoring goals in training, so the confidence is high. There’s a lot of attacking talent in this team, so I just have to wait for that opportunity.’
