Skysports.com reports Bury keeper Wayne Brown is a surprise target for a number of South African clubs. Brown's current deal expires in the summer with Bury having the option to extend it.

The news has alerted South African duo Santos and Mamelodi Sundowns as well as Belgian side Charleroi.

The 33-year-old has impressed during his two years at Gigg Lane and his form has not gone unnoticed.

Brown's agent Jesse Learoyd-Hill has confirmed that the keeper has attracted interest from abroad and that he is weighing up his options.

"Yes I have had communications with teams abroad about Wayne Brown," Learoyd-Hill told skysports.com.

"But until the season finishes, and we have had time to take stock, we won't be rushing into any decisions about Wayne's future."
