On 16 April 2019, it was announced that Seoposenwe had signed her first professional contract with Gintra Universitetas in Lithuania, joining them to play in the 2019-20 UEFA Women's Champions League season. She joined alongside South Africa teammate Nothando Vilakazi. [2]
Seoposenwe made two Champions League appearances for Gintra, besides helping the side win the 2019 A Lyga Women and Amber Cup titles.
Seoposenwe signed for Spanish side Real Betis Balompie on 8 February 2020, making her debut in a 2–1 victory over RC Espanyol the following weekend.
The season would be called to an end early due to the COVID-19 global pandemic with Seoposenwe having made three appearances across all competitions.
On 6 July 2020, Seoposenwe was announced as a new player of SC Braga. [3] She made an immediate impact at the club in her first campaign, scoring twice on 13 January 2021 against rivals SL Benfica in the final of the Taça de Portugal in a 3–1 victory. [4]
In her second season at the club Seoposenwe scored 8 goals and provided 7 assists in 19 league appearances as the club finished third in the Campeonato Nacional. On 23 March 2022, SC Braga won the Taca da Liga on penalties against SL Benfica with Seoposenwe playing the entire 120 minutes. [5]
On 24 August 2022, Seoposenwe signed for Liga MX Femenil side FC Juarez on a free transfer. [6] She revealed shortly after that she had previously agreed a pre-contract with French side FC Girondins de Bordeaux only for the relegation of the club's men's side to cause a change of direction. [7]
Just a month after joining she set a new league record for fastest goal in a match, scoring after nine seconds in a 3-0 win over Necaxa. [8]
In total she scored seven goals in 24 appearances for the club, helping Juarez reach the league's playoffs for the first time in their history during the 2023 Clausura.
Following the end of her Juarez contract, Seoposenwe moved to fellow Liga MX side C.F. Monterrey. [9] On 28 May 2024 she scored in a 2-1 victory over Club America as her side were crowned 2024 Clausura champions. [10]
On 26 November 2024, she helped her side to a second consecutive league title winning the 2024 Apertura in a penalty shootout against rivals Tigres UANL.
On 18 October 2015, Seoposenwe scored the winning goal against Equatorial Guinea which secured South Africa's qualification to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. [11] At the tournament she started all three of South Africa's matches as they exited at the Group Stage.
Seoposenwe was a key player for South Africa at the 2018 CAF Africa Women Cup of Nations with Banyana Banyana reaching the final only to lose to Nigeria in a penalty shootout. [12] The result qualified South Africa for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup for their first appearance at the competition, with Seoposenwe part of the 23 player squad for the tournament in France. At the competition, she featured in matches with China and Spain.
On 4 July 2022, Seoposenwe scored Banyana Banyana's first goal in their 2–1 win against Nigeria at the 2022 Africa Women Cup of Nations. [13]
