Mamelodi Sundowns have tied down utility player Aubrey Modiba for the upcoming season as his contract was set to expire.
Modiba has been with Sundowns for five years having joined them from crosstown rivals SuperSport United.
The 29-year-old left-footed player has become an important member of this Sundowns team over the years.
Now, SABC Sport reports that Sundowns had until 31 May to trigger a one-year option they had on Modiba’s contract.
And they have since done so, making sure that Modiba remains at Chloorkop for another season.
Furthermore, Sundowns still have another one-year option on Modiba’s current deal, meaning the left-footer may stay until 2027.
Modiba has featured 162 times for Sundowns, scoring nine goals and providing 17 assists in the process.
He recently lifted the Betway Premiership trophy which was his fourth league medal with the Brazilians.
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS KEEP AUBREY MODIBA
“SABC Sport can confirm that Mamelodi Sundowns will not be letting Aubrey Modiba leave on a free transfer following the decision to go ahead and trigger the option on his contract,” reads part the report.
“The Tshwane giants had until May 31 to exercise the option to hold on to Modiba until June 2026 – with yet another clause to extend that deal for another season if they so wish.”
