Now it has been confirmed that the former Mpumalanga Black Aces man has signed a four-and a half-year extension which will see him remain at the club until 2024 – that is unless a club from abroad comes knocking.
The player's agent, Glyn Binkin, explained that the player is very pleased to commit his future to Kaitano Tembo's side going forward, but admits he harbours hopes of making a step outside the country in his future.
Speaking to the Siya crew this week, Binkin said, "Aubrey is delighted to have extended his stay at SuperSport... He has been an integral part of the team since joining from Cape Town City, has enjoyed considerable success at the club and looks forward to being a part of the exciting future there.
"His goal remains to ultimately play abroad and we are confident that SuperSport will help him realize his dream when the time is right."
Meanwhile, he also went on to praise SuperSport for the manner in which they did the deal, adding, "It's always a pleasure dealing with SuperSport United, and in particular the CEO (Stan Matthews) and board of the club.
"Not only do they care about what the player can do for the club on the field, but more importantly they care about the player, his welfare and the welfare of his family off the field of play as well. There is a genuine passion in this regard which distinguishes them from many other clubs. Aubrey is delighted to be a part of that family."
