At 36 years old, Anthony Modeste has signed with CF Intercity, a club currently struggling at the bottom of Spain’s third division.
The French-Ivorian striker, who has been without a club since leaving Al Ahly in the summer, takes on a new challenge in the Spanish league, marking his twelfth professional team.
Modeste, who has played in multiple countries including France, Germany, England, China, and Egypt, now heads to Alicante, where CF Intercity is languishing in the lower part of their group with 11 defeats from 22 games.
This will be Modeste’s first foray into Spanish football, continuing his long career in European and international leagues.
Having spent a significant portion of his career at FC Cologne in the Bundesliga, where he made 157 appearances and scored 79 goals, Modeste has been a consistent performer throughout his career.
His decision to join CF Intercity, despite their current struggles, reflects his determination to keep playing and make an impact wherever he goes.
“At my age, I want to keep playing and contributing to a team. I’m excited to join CF Intercity and bring my experience to help the squad,” Modeste said in a statement.
Modeste’s move may raise some eyebrows due to the club’s position at the bottom of the third division, but the striker’s wealth of experience across various competitive leagues makes him a potentially valuable asset for CF Intercity.
His ability to adapt and deliver when needed will be key as the team looks to improve its standing in the remainder of the season.
CF Intercity is hoping that Modeste’s expertise will help turn their fortunes around and lift them out of the relegation zone.
His arrival brings both experience and leadership, qualities that could prove essential for the club’s survival hopes.
This move to Spain adds another country to Modeste’s already diverse football journey, and fans will be eager to see if his renowned goal-scoring abilities can spark a revival for CF Intercity as they push for better results in the second half of the season.
