SuperSport United are believed to have added coaching badges and television work as incentives to striker Bradley Grobler's new contract.
The veteran forward is in the final months of his initial deal with the Tshwane outfit and had already confirmed he had no intention to leave as discussions around an extension between the two parties got underway.

Soccer Laduma has been informed that Grobler has agreed to a one-year contract with an option to have it renewed for another season, but the club has also told the player he can start mapping the way forward as a coach or pundit.
Through their ties with pay channel SuperSport, the team can open doors for their former players to begin a career in television – and the deadly marksman has that option now if he wants to go that route when he hangs up his boots in a few years' time.
The other more natural progression is becoming a coach, which is the direction a lot of the ex-players take by studying for their coaching badges and working in the youth development to gain experience.
