Brooklyn Kabongolo, born on the 16th of October 2002, is a 23-year-old French footballer who currently serves as a central defender for Livingston. Standing at a towering 6ft 4in (1.95m) and weighing 13st 5lb (85kg) he's indeed a force to be reckoned with on the field. Kabongolo's journey has been quite varied, trading in his number 23 jersey across different clubs and countries over the years.
According to Transfermarkt, Kabongolo's current market value hovers around £21k, which, when considering his youth and room for development, is a figure that could potentially see an increase in the near future.
Putting a microscope to his football journey, Kabongolo began his career in England with Billericay Town in the Southern Football League. In September 2023, he made his move to Southend United in the National League. His tenure didn't last long, and by February 2024 he found himself transferring to Oxford City in the National League North. Later, he scored another transfer in October 2024, this time further afield to Aveley in the Lower Leagues.
In July 2025, Kabongolo made a significant career switch, this time crossing borders to join Livingston in the Scottish Premiership. His performance in the 2025 - 2026 season at Livingston has been commendable, with eight first-team appearances and two goals in league matches so far. His time at Livingston was interrupted for a brief period when he was loaned to Arbroath in the Championship, where he continued to impress with 11 first team appearances and two goals.
However, as of January 2026, Kabongolo has returned to Livingston after his loan period at Arbroath came to an end, swiftly finding his stride again at his Scottish base. It remains to be seen what the future holds for this promising defender whose versatility and strength continue to make him a valuable asset to his team.
