Mamodaly was born in Mannheim, Germany.[1] His father was from Madagascar.[2] Mamodaly initially combined his football career with handball, playing for Rhein-Neckar Löwen and the German national youth team,[3][4] before giving it up to concentrate on football.[2]
Mamodaly joined TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at the age of 16.[3] After playing with Karlsruher SC II, he trialled with Scottish club Dundee United along with eight teammates, including Lukas Rupp and Matthias Zimmermann.[3] His proposed transfer to Dundee fell through and he instead moved to Dynamo Dresden II,[3] signing for them in October 2009.[4] Mamodaly viewed his time with Dynamo Dresden as a "catastrophe" and that he was bullied by the manager.[3] After two years he trialled with French club Lorient, but that transfer also fell through.[3] He left Dynamo Dresden, and trained with a VDV camp for contractless players.[3] He trialled with 1. FC Nürnberg.[3]
He moved to the United States to play college soccer with the St. Thomas University Bobcats.[3] He spent four seasons with the team,[1] and became their captain.[3] He ended his career in 2016 due to knee problems.[3]
Mamodaly earned two caps for Madagascar in 2010.[1]
Mamodaly began studying for an MBA at Columbia University before returning to Miami to undertake a master's degree.[3] He also set up a sports agency for young players from Germany, Italy and Brazil to study and play in the United States.[3]
