“When the time to retire from the national team comes I will say so,” said Modise

“For now I still have ambition to play.”

The midfielder has had an excellent season for the Brazilians and has three PSL nominations show for it – Midfielder of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season and Nedbank Cup Player of the Tournament.

With seven premiership goals to his name, Modise has been colossal for ‘Downs and he admits it is a great feeling being consistent.
