South African striker Elvin Modise joins Austrian third division club

South African Elvin Kanyerere Modise has completed a move to Austrian club ATSV Stadl-Paura ahead of the new season.

Modise, who describes himself as a pacey striker, was most recently on the books of fourth division Austrian club ASV 13, but his performances have seen him leap one division up. He will now be competing in the third tier of Austrian football.

He netted eight goals in 10 games for ASV last season.

“I’m very happy to join the club because I’m coming from the fourth division and I’m going to the third division which is a good challenge for me,” Modise told SABC Sport.
