A man who has hardly ever gone under the radar, Modise has had a spectacular 2021 as his career has taken off in the right direction, with gigs and opportunities left, right, and center.
Earlier this year, ‘The Navigator’ was part of the panel of pundits from major sports broadcaster SuperSport, as they delivered expert commentary of the 2020 UEFA European Championship.
Although we cannot confirm the exact title, the former Orlando Pirates playmaker also got an ambassadorial role at the club where he was most successful, Mamelodi Sundowns.
Modise’s 2021 includes work with fashion labels, as well as brands like Energade, Heineken, PUMA, LaLiga Santander, and Bic Shavers, among others.
Although it goes relatively unnoticed, the former Bafana Bafana star was the one who assisted the very first goal scored in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Essentially, this makes him the first assist-maker in Africa’s inaugural World Cup showpiece.
Modise began his professional career at Ria Stars in 2001, but he moved back to the National First Division to join City Pillars a year later after the club was bought out by the PSL.
He then spent four years at Pillars between 2002 and 2006, before SuperSport United came knocking for his signature.
After a series of impressive performances at City Pillars, Modise was transferred to Orlando Pirates and later Mamelodi Sundowns before signing for Cape Town City two seasons ago.
Early life
Modise was born in Meadowlands, South Africa. He is the youngest of three siblings and was raised by his mother in Diepkloof, Soweto.
He was introduced to football as a toddler through his father who was a Kaizer Chiefs supporter, but lost contact with him when he was ten years old.
During his formative years that followed, he played for local amateur sides Coventry and City Rebels before joining Ria Stars at the age of seventeen.
Modise signed for Ria Stars in 1999 after being scouted by former Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs defender, Steve Mnguni.
He made his PSL debut two years later in a 1–1 draw with Bidvest Wits on 2 September 2001. It was his only professional campaign with Ria Stars, however, as at the end of the season the club became defunct after being bought out for R8m by the PSL.
