A
Internationally, Maghoma was first capped for the DR Congo in 2010.
Club career
Tottenham Hotspur
Born in
After five years at the academy, Maghoma was released by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp in June 2009.[6]
Burton Albion
After training with both
Minor knocks did not prevent Maghoma beginning Burton's season in the matchday squad, albeit on the bench.
After serving a suspension in the opening game of the season,
Maghoma began the 2012–13 season with a goal and an assist in a 6–2 win over
He was the club's top scorer for the season, with 18 goals from 50 appearances,[37] became the first Burton Albion player to be named in the PFA League Two Team of the Year,[38] placed sixth in the poll of League Two managers to choose the division's player of the year,[39] received the club's Players' Player of the Season award, and was runner-up to Lee Bell as Supporters' Player of the Season.[40] With his contract due to expire and interest reported from Championship clubs, it became clear that Maghoma would be leaving.[41] Manager Gary Rowett said he and his ability to "[come] up with a little bit of magic more often than not" would be a big loss.[42]
Sheffield Wednesday
Maghoma signed a two-year contract with Championship club
Maghoma started the 2014–15 season with an assist for
Birmingham City
Maghoma linked up again with former manager Gary Rowett at Championship club
Speaking in February 2016, Rowett said about Maghoma that "he's strong, he's quick, and he's got great balance. He can beat players, he can score goals, he can tackle, and he can defend", but that his ability meant that "he should be scoring ten goals a season and setting more goals up".
Maghoma won Birmingham's Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards for 2017–18.[73]
After five years with the club, he was released when his contract expired at the end of the 2019–20 season.[74]
East Bengal
Maghoma signed a one-year contract with
Return to England
Northern Premier League Eastern Division club Spalding United, managed by former DR Congo international Gabriel Zakuani, announced the arrival of Maghoma in June 2021.[76] However, it was reported locally that he was training with the club to regain fitness,[77] and he made no competitive appearance for them.[78]
In October 2021, Maghoma signed for National League South club Hemel Hempstead Town.[79] He made his debut on 6 November as a second-half substitute in a 2–2 draw away to Dorking Wanderers, and made five more appearances.[46][80]
Maghoma announced his retirement from football in October 2022.[81]
International career
Maghoma was called into the DR Congo squad for some post-season friendlies in May 2010 in Austria and Switzerland.[82] He made his debut for his country's B team against Saudi Arabia's B team on 20 May, and scored.[83] He made his senior debut during the same set of matches, as a second-half substitute, also against Saudi Arabia,[84] but did not appear again until March 2015, in a friendly defeat against Iraq.[85][86] He made his first competitive appearance for his country as a half-time substitute in the World Cup qualifier away to Burundi, which DR Congo won 3–2, and started the return match three days later, in which a 2–2 daw was enough for DR Congo to progress to the qualification group stage.[87][88]
Personal life
Maghoma's younger brothers, Christian and Paris, also became professional footballers.[89][90]
