Club career

[edit]

Educated at Grenada Boys' Secondary School,[1] Modeste began his career at Grenadian club Queens Park Rangers SC. After seven years at the club, Modeste moved to Jamaica, signing for Hazard United in 2002. In his first season at Hazard United, Modeste won the 2002–03 National Premier League and JFF Champions Cup, scoring five league goals in the process, as Hazard United relocated from May Pen to Portmore, renaming to Portmore United in 2003. In 2005, Modeste helped Portmore complete another double. In 2007, Portmore won another JFF Champions Cup, winning the league the following season. In 2011, Modeste returned to Grenada, signing for GBSS Demerara Mutual. After five seasons at the club, Modeste returned to Queens Park Rangers for a single season, before joining Camerhogne in 2017. Modeste retired at the club in 2019.[2]

International career

After representing Grenada at under-15, under-20 and under-23 level,[3] Modeste made his debut for Grenada's senior team on 29 March 1996, picking up a yellow card in a 2–1 win against Guyana. In total, Modeste scored 13 times for Grenada, including a four-goal haul against Dominica on 12 March 2001.[2]
