Club career

Grobler attended Benoni High School and plied his trade as a junior at both Boksburg FC and BK Callies just outside Johannesburg. Bradley started his professional football career at Platinum Stars. After a four-year stint at Stars, he moved to Turkish second division side Göztepe A.Ş. on 26 August 2011. He was then Göztepe's most expensive signing ever.[3][4]

On 26 June 2012, Grobler joined Premier Soccer League side Ajax Cape Town on a four-year deal.[5]

He has scored over 8 goals against Orlando Pirates, while at Supersport United.

In early September 2019, Bradley Grobler signed for Forest Green Rovers on a free transfer. During his short time at the club, Grobler scored 15 goals in only 9 league games, helping Rovers to top the League Two table before Christmas without dropping a single point.
