Mothiba has been without a club since May last year after parting ways with French top-flight club Strasbourg, where he spent six seasons. After months of looking for a new home, the 29-year-old has finally agreed to a short-term deal with Sundowns, who were keen to bolster their attacking department.
After a decade in Europe, Mothiba finally returns to South Africa after playing for Lille, Valenciennes, Strasbourg and Troyes. Mothiba nearly joined Standard Liège, but the move collapsed after both parties couldn’t agree on terms. He also tried his luck at German club Karlsruhe and Wydad Casablanca in Morocco before being snapped up by Sundowns.
