[18]
On 5 January 2018, Kabamba joined National League side Aldershot Town on loan for the remainder of the campaign. [19] On 9 May, Portsmouth announced that his contract, which would expire on 30 June, would not be renewed. [20] [21]
On 14 June 2018, Kabamba signed for National League newcomers Havant and Waterlooville and has made 32 appearances and scored 6 goals across all competitions.

[23] He finished his loan spell with 7 goals in 17 National League appearances, including a goal in a 3–2 win over Salford City F.C. on the final game of the season which ended their opponents' title run. Kabamba signed a permanent deal on 13 May 2019. [24]
