Yado Massaya Mambo (born 22 October 1991) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Hampton & Richmond Borough. He started his career at Charlton Athletic for whom he featured in a number of cup matches, and also spent time on loan in the Football League for AFC Wimbledon and Shrewsbury Town in 2012/13 season.
Mambo started his career in Charlton Athletic's youth academy, and on turning professional went on numerous loans to non-league sides Welling United, [1] Dover Athletic, [2] Staines Town, [3] Eastbourne Borough, [4] and Ebbsfleet United. [5]
Having signed a one-year contract extension at Charlton in July 2012, [6] Mambo went on further loan deals at AFC Wimbledon in League Two [7] and Shrewsbury Town in League One [8] but was released at the end of the season. [9] Mambo subsequently went on trial at Colchester United in July 2013 but was not offered a deal after suffering an knee injury during his trial. [10]
After a period out of the game, Mambo rejoined his former loan club Ebbsfleet United, now playing in the Conference South on 1 February 2014, initially on non-contract terms. [11] [12]
Mambo re-joined Ebbsfleet, where their failings to give him the number 5 shirt (in reference to the famous 1999 hit Mambo No. 5) went viral. After the social media outcry, he did don the shirt for a match, the shirt was then auctioned off. Mambo retired through injury aged 26 in late 2017.
After he was given the all-clear to play part-time, Mambo joined Wealdstone on non-contract terms in the summer of 2018. [14]
