Club career
Kabongolo came through the youth academy at Ipswich Town, but left the club without making a single first team appearance. After his exit from Portman Road, Kabongolo signed for Billericay Town in 2023.[1] Some impressive performances led to the opportunity to sign for Southend United.[2]
He signed for Southend United for the second half of the 2023-2024 season. The defender made 13 league appearances for the Shrimpers before deciding to leave the club in February 2024 after failing to agree a new deal.[3][4]
He signed for Oxford City in July 2024. After making 9 first team appearances for the club, he was on the move again when he signed for Aveley in October 2024.[5]
Kabongolo's good form earned him a move to Scottish side Livingston in July 2025, signing a two year deal with the West Lothian club.[6]
In October 2025, he joined Arbroath on loan until the end of the 2025–26 season.[7]
Personal life
Kabongolo is of French and Congolese heritage.[8]
