Mamelodi Sundowns

Following Free State Stars' relegation, Mobbie signed for Mamelodi Sundowns in summer 2019.[4] However, Mobbie was left out of the club's pre-season training camp and signed for Stellenbosch on a season-long loan in August.[5][6] He scored once in 27 league appearances for Stellenbosch.[1] In December 2020, Mobbie joined Chippa United on loan until the end of the season.[7] He made 20 league appearances for Chippa United.[1] On 9 September 2021, it was announced that Mobbie had joined Sekhukhune United on a season-long loan, with the deal having been completed a week before.[8] The move became permanent ahead of the 2022–23 season.[9]

International career

Mobbie made his debut for the South African national team on 4 August 2019 in a 3–0 2020 African Nations Championship qualification defeat to Lesotho.[10] He made 5 appearances at the 2021 COSAFA Cup tournament, which South Africa won after beating Senegal in the final.[2]
