Jeremy Brockie's contribution to SuperSport United's recent triumph hasn't gone unnoticed, scooping the Nedbank Cup player of the tournament award.

The All Whites striker, who is from Nelson, scored the opening goal in his team's 3-2 win over Orlando Pirates in the final on Sunday morning (NZ time).

After going behind early against Pirates at the sold-out Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane - where he made his World Cup debut back in 2010 - Brockie dragged SuperSport back into the game by heading in a cross from New Zealand team-mate Michael Boxall, who would later score the decisive goal late in the first half.

"It's an unreal feeling, it was my first cup final as a player and to get the trophy is a fantastic feeling. A very special moment that I won't forget," a delighted Brockie said after the game.

He thanked the club on Twitter for their support after winning the individual accolade at the end of season awards ceremony.

"Very honoured to win this award! A big thank you to everyone at the club, the players and my wife for their support," he said.

The strike in the final took Brockie's goal-scoring tally to 18 across all competitions this season with four of those coming from the Nedbank Cup.

​Brockie was due to meet up with the New Zealand squad in Papua New Guinea on Tuesday ahead of the team's second OFC Nations Cup game against Vanuatu, having initially missed the cut for Anthony Hudson's 23-man roster.
