Brockie was on coach Pitso Mosimane’s wish list during the last transfer period, however, SuperSport turned down Sundowns’ offer for the New Zealander.
The 30-year-old is one of the best strikers in the Absa Premiership since joining United in 2005.
“It was flattering seeing two big teams fight over me,” Brockie told The Star.
