Mike Botuli Cestor (born 30 April 1992) is a Congolese professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Polish club Radomiak Radom. [1]
Born in France, Cestor has earned caps for DR Congo at under-20 level.
Cestor was born in Bagneux, Hauts-de-Seine, Paris. Before trialling for Leyton Orient, Cestor had been on the books as a youth player for Italian side Pisa. [2]
Cestor joined Orient's youth squad early in the 2009–10 season and also featured in the reserve team before being called up to the first-team squad in December 2009, although he made no first-team appearances. [3] He signed a new two-year contract on 9 June 2010, [4] and he made his professional debut in a League Cup match for Orient, as they won 2–1 at Swindon Town on 10 August 2010. [5] His league debut came three days later in the 3–1 defeat to Charlton Athletic. [6]
On 11 January 2011, Cestor went on a month's loan to Boreham Wood, [7] making his debut on 15 January in the 2–0 win over Chelmsford City. [8]
On 19 August 2011, he went on a month's loan to Woking, [9] and made his debut the following day in the 0–0 draw at home to his old club Boreham Wood. [10] He made seven appearances for Woking before returning to Orient and coming on as a substitute in their 3–2 League Cup defeat at Blackburn Rovers on 20 September. [11] He returned to Woking on 12 January 2012 for another month's loan spell, [12] which was later extended, and after a brief return to Orient, he began yet another loan period at Woking. [13] On 15 May 2012, he was one of three players released by Orient manager Russell Slade. [14] On 19 July 2012, Cestor signed permanently for Woking, who were newly promoted to the Football Conference. [15]
On 20 December 2014, in a 2–1 defeat to Southport, Cestor suffered a long term knee injury, therefore ruling him out for the remainder of the 2014–15 campaign. [16]
Ahead of the following campaign, Cestor was released at the end of his contract, due to his slow progress with his injury.
On 2 July 2016, Cestor joined French side SAS Épinal after a year without a club. [17]
Prior to the 2013 Toulon Tournament, Cestor received a call-up for the DR Congo U20 team. Cestor went on to start all four of DR Congo's games in the Toulon campaign, initially making his debut in a 1–0 defeat against the France U20 side on 30 May 2013. [18]
