The 33-year-old has made 81 appearances for Kaizer Chiefs, scoring five goals and providing five assists since joining the club from Lamontville Golden Arrows on a free transfer in 2023.
According to FARPost journalist Mthokozisi Dube, Kaizer Chiefs decided to retain Mmodi despite his contract nearing its expiry.
Mmodi featured 25 times across all competitions last season, registering one goal and one assist. The decision also explains his inclusion in Amakhosi’s pre-season squad currently in Spain ahead of the new Betway Premiership campaign.
The veteran winger remains one of the most experienced members of the squad, with his versatility and professionalism continuing to earn the trust of the technical team.
KAIZER CHIEFS KEEP FAITH
Although his attacking numbers dipped last season, Amakhosi still value Mmodi’s ability to perform in different roles.
He enjoyed an outstanding first campaign after arriving from Lamontville Golden Arrows, scoring twice on his home debut against AmaZulu before adding a stunning long-range goal against Stellenbosch FC. He finished that season with four goals and four assists.
By activating the one-year option in his contract, Kaizer Chiefs have ensured Mmodi will remain at Naturena until June 2027.
NEW ERA AT NATURENA
Kaizer Chiefs have strengthened both their playing squad and technical team ahead of the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season as they look to compete for silverware on multiple fronts.
Amakhosi have already signed Thabo Moloisane from Stellenbosch FC, Renaldo Leaner from Sekhukhune United. Additionally, Kaizer Chiefs have also assembled a new-look technical team under French coach Fernando Da Cruz, who signed a two-year contract with the club.
He is joined by assistant coach Mahmoud Abbas, strength and conditioning coach Julien Le Heran, and goalkeeper coach Olivier Sorin.
The revamped squad is currently in Spain, where they are continuing their pre-season preparations. The camp is focused on improving fitness before the start of the Betway Premiership season.
