Sekhukhune United striker Bradley Grobler admits it feels 'nice' scoring against Kaizer Chiefs after they told him he was 'old and past my prime'

Sekhukhune United striker Bradley Grobler has admitted that it feels nice scoring against Kaizer Chiefs, especially after the Soweto giants turned down a chance to sign him.

Grobler said Amakhosi were not interested in signing him because the club believed the striker was past his prime.

The experienced striker scored twice as Babina Noko outclassed Chiefs in a Premier Soccer League game on Tuesday. The 3-1 win saw Sekhukhune United keep their unbeaten run but end Chiefs'.

“It feels great, I’ve got to be honest. I haven’t trained in the last four days. I had a chest infection and a throat infection, so I arrived at camp late yesterday and played; it went well," Grobler told SuperSport TV.

"In the first half, we could have done more, but credit to the boys, you know, the fighting spirit, and the game plan from the coach was top-notch. Credit to the team," he added.

"Look, sometimes scoring against teams that four, five, or six years ago told you you were old and past your prime feels good. It feels good to be scoring against these teams.

"I am very happy about the team; you know, I think tonight was a big performance and a performance that is going to make people take us a bit more seriously.

"But we do not want to put ourselves under pressure, but want to win every game, and we would like to fight for the league."

Grobler has always had the habit of scoring against the Soweto giants. The former SuperSport United star has found the back of the net 12 times against the Glamour Boys across all competitions.

"It is a question I have been asked many times, but there is nothing against the team," Grobler explained about his appetite against Chiefs.

"But like I said, the nice thing is that the team that seven years ago told me I was old and past my prime, so I must be honest that it feels nice."

When Gavin Hunt was in charge of Amakhosi, the club was linked with the former Platinum Stars striker, but in the end, a move did not materialise.

Now, according to Grobler's confession, the deal may not have seen the light of day, as Chiefs deemed the forward as past his prime.

As Sekhukhune mount a challenge for the league title, Grobler must keep his goalscoring form going because his club will critically need his services.

Next for Babina Noko and Grobler will be a match against Golden Arrows on September 20.
