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] [2] Some impressive performances led to the opportunity to sign for Southend United. [3]

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. [4] [5]

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. [6]

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. [7]
