Mamelodi Sundowns new signing Jeremy Brockie says he is relishing the chance to help the Brazilians claim their second Caf Champions League title.
The 30-year-old completed his move to the Brazilians after put pen to paper on a five-year contract following his move from Matsatsantsa.
Brockie says Pitso Mosimane’s ambition and drive to succeed motivates him to play his part in their bid to claim glory in the African continental competition.
“My biggest motivation for joining Sundowns is their ambition,” Brockie told his new club’s website.
“The ambition of the club is to win every trophy and every competition that they are involved in. I’ve spoken to coach Pitso Mosimane, the ambition and drive that he has to succeed really motivates and excites me. I can’t wait to start playing for him. When he talks about wanting to win the Champions League again, it gives you a good buzz.
“I would really like to have a good shot at that. Watching Sundowns win that trophy a couple of years ago makes me want to go out there and test myself in the Champions League, hopefully I can achieve the club’s goals and my personal goals.”
The New Zealand striker joins Sundowns after scoring 54 goals and assisting a further 14 from 104 appearances in all competitions in the three years at SuperSport.
“It’s a massive honour to be putting on the yellow shirt of Mamelodi Sundowns,” he added.
‘There’s no secret that the club is full of history, it has a history of winning trophies. Recently they won the Caf Champions League. It’s exciting times for myself. I am looking forward to the opportunity of playing with some talented individuals.
“Watching the team lately really excites me. I am really looking forward to developing those relationships on and off the pitch with those players. It seemed like it dragged on forever, at some stage you wonder if the move was going to come.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, to finally have it materialise feels great. I am looking forward to put on the shirt for the first time. I know that it’s going to be tough to crack into the side, there is a lot of depth and there are a lot of great players in the Sundowns side. But I believe in my ability and I will complement the team really well,” he concluded.
