Grobler is a key player for SuperSport, and the 36-year-old proved his worth by scoring the winning goal against Richards Bay on Friday, 6 December 2024.
Following his return from injury, Grobler is expected to battle for a starting place with new striker Samir Nurkovic, which could increase his search for goals.
The veteran striker needs six more goals to match Nomvethe's tally, and with 24 matches left in the season, he could be in the record books as SuperSport looks to improve their fortunes.
Peter Shalulile
After scoring two goals this season, Namibian striker Shalulile is ahead of Grobler and is the fan favourite to break the record.
The 31-year-old has more competition at Sundowns with in-form Iqraam Rayners and new signing Arthur Sales vying for a place in the starting line-up.
Shalulile has more than proven himself at the PSL champions, and he could benefit from having more creative players around him to reach the record.
History will be made in the PSL this season
With both players already finding the back of the net this season, both could break Nomvethe's record.
The difference maker will be the assistance of their squads, which makes Shalulile the favourite to end the season with a higher tally.
SuperSport United star backs new signing
As reported by Briefly News, SuperSport United defender Pogiso Sanoka said new signing Samir Nurkovic can help the team turn their fortunes around.
The Pretoria side are eighth on the PSL log after three wins after ten matches, and Sanoka believes the arrival of Nurkovic and the return of Bradley Grobler could help them improve.
