Club career

Kimbaloula joined Lille OSC when he was nine, but left the team in summer 2012 without making a first team appearance. In January 2013 he signed a two-year contract with defending Estonian club Nõmme Kalju,[1] having rejected a contract offer from English Premier League side Norwich City.[2]

International career

Born in France to Cameroonian mother and Congolese father, Kimbaloula was eligible to play for any of these three countries, choosing the latter.[6] He acquired French nationality on 20 December 2001, through the collective effect of his father's naturalization.[7]

On 17 February 2014, he made his international debut for the Congo national team in a 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Namibia.[8]
