Mokoena began his career in the domestic league for Jomo Cosmos where his performances earned him a move to Ajax and an international debut in February 1999 against Botswana, which made him the youngest ever South African International since they were readmitted to FIFA in 1992, aged 18 years and two months.
He made the squad for the Sydney Olympics where he appeared in all three games before the team were eliminated at the group stage.
He failed to make the first team at Ajax and he has spent two seasons on loan at Germinal Beerschot (Ajax feeder club).
He was one of the few successes at the African Nations' Cup Finals where he replaced the injured Lucas Radebe in the centre of the defence.
A good man marker, exceptional in the air and skilful on the ground.
Mokoena joined Blackburn Rovers in January 2005 with a contract to June 2007.
He joined Portsmouth in July 2009 with a three-year contract that was extended to June 2013 in October 2010.
