Career

On 12 May 2019, Musaba made his professional debut with Vitesse in a 6–1 Eredivisie win against De Graafschap, coming on as a substitute for Navarone Foor in the 82nd minute and scoring his team's last goal minutes later. [4]

After failing to break through at Vitesse, he joined Fortuna Sittard on 4 September 2020 on a two-year contract, who sent him on a one-season loan to second-tier side FC Dordrecht on the same day. [5] [6] He made his debut for Dordrecht on 7 September in a 2–1 loss to FC Den Bosch, coming on as a substitute in the 88th minute for Kevin Jansen. [7]

On 29 July 2022, Musaba was loaned to TOP Oss. [8] His loan spell was unsuccessful, and he made only four appearances for the club in the first half of the season before returning prematurely to Fortuna in January 2023. [9] In March 2023, the club announced the formal termination of his contract in accordance with regulations, which meant that he was set to leave Fortuna at the end of the season. [10]

Personal life

Musaba was born to Congolese parents. His twin brother Anthony is also a professional footballer. [2]
