Modiba: Defender explains Mamelodi Sundowns struggle and resurgence

The former SuperSport United star won his first league medal after joining the Brazilians, where he initially struggled

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Aubrey Modiba has explained how he bounced back at the Premier Socer League side after a slow start at his new club.

Modiba made 30 appearances across all competitions for the Brazilians, despite not getting a dream start after joining from SuperSport United at the start of the season, and has credited a strong mentality and the coaches' encouragement for settling down thereafter.

The 25-year-old defender worked under coaches Manqoba Mngqithi, Rulani Mokwena and Steve Komphela at the Pretoria club.
