SuperSport United striker Bradley Grobler has touched on the importance of money as he made a huge admission regarding his playing future.
Grobler's contract with Matsatsantsa is meant to expire in June and club CEO Stan Matthews has indicated that they would like to keep the 35-year-old who recently struck his 100th PSL goal for at least another season.

Grobler is joint top scorer in the league with Mamelodi Sundowns forward Peter Shalulile, just one shy of reaching double figures in the Premiership in this campaign.
The player has admitted that he will probably sign one-year contracts until he brings an end to his playing career.
"I am pretty sure that this is not going to be my last contract. This season I have played 20 out of 21 games. I missed one through having COVID and I was sitting tied top scorer, and I feel as good as I felt five years ago. Obviously, I am not going to go sign three or four year contracts now. It doesn't happen anywhere in the world at my age. It's probably going to be a year, a year and see where it goes. When you get to my age, you've got to take it one year at a time and, for me, I am excited for the next season," Bradley Grobler told media after a training session in Sunninghill on Wednesday morning.

"I don't like to talk finances too much, but we have short careers. You've got to make the money while you can and that's the reality. I've got three kids at home and I've got to give them the best that I can. Money is not everything, but you do need it. It is a financial thing as well, so I don't want to lie and say it's not about finances. It is and we've got to make the most of what we can."
Grobler revealed that discussions have been ongoing with SuperSport over a new deal, but there is interest elsewhere.
"There have been discussions. Hopefully in the next week we will have an idea where we stand. If I finish my career here, I certainly wouldn't be disappointed. But we will see.
"There has been talk and interest, but with no disrespect to other teams, I've always given SuperSport first option. We will see where it goes."
