Bradley Grobler's PSL Record Bid: Can He Top Peter Shalulile?
SuperSport United FC's Bradley Grobler has a chance to top Peter Shalulile's PSL record this season. Can he stay fit and achieve his goal?
What happened?
Bradley Grobler, 38, has 129 goals in his career, four behind Peter Shalulile's record. Grobler has a real chance to top Shalulile's record this season, having netted 11 times in an injury-hit campaign for Sekhukhune United in 2025/26.
Why it matters for SuperSport United FC
Grobler reunites with coach Gavin Hunt, who he worked with at SuperSport United. Hunt's direct style of football suits the veteran forward. Grobler and Ashley du Preez together could be a good foil, with one a target man and the other a pacy forward who can stretch the defence.
What comes next?
Shalulile achieved his tally in nine top-flight seasons in the PSL, including one in which he managed 30 goals - 23 in the league and seven in the cup. In fact, he netted 75 goals in just three seasons between 2020/21 and 2022/23, the most prolific spell by a striker in PSL history. There is a chance Shalulile, who is now 32, could return to South Africa to add to his tally, but for now the record is there for the taking for Grobler.
