Mamelodi Sundowns officially complete signing of Aubrey Modiba from SuperSport United
Mamelodi Sundowns have officially completed the transfer of versatile attacker Aubrey Modiba from SuperSport United in this summer’s transfer window.
“SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns have agreed terms for the permanent move of Bafana Bafana midfielder Aubrey Modiba with immediate effect,” read a statement from Matsatsantsa.
“Modiba joined the club in the 2016/17 season and played a crucial role in helping Matsatsantsa to lift the MTN 8 twice and Nedbank Cup trophy and contributed immensely in our historic CAF Confederations Cup journey, finishing as runners-up losing narrowly to TP Mazembe.”
SuperSport CEO Stan Matthews said: “The Club has been consistent in our approach to the release of players for many years now.
“When a player helps us win trophies, plays his part in the club’s progress and gets a massive opportunity which is good for both him and us – then we open to discussion.”
“Sundowns have been pursuing Aubrey for a long time and the reality is we cannot come anywhere close to what is available to him.”
“He has been a fantastic player for us on the pitch, a wonderful young man off the field, of whom we are very proud , and we wish him every success in the future – a future which looks very bright indeed.”
Meanwhile, the Brazilian have lost five time PSL winner Pitso Mosimane to Al Ahly with the Egyptian side announcing the deal on Thursday afternoon.
