Richard Ntomba Ekunde (born 4 August 1982 in Kinshasa) is a Congolese footballer who plays for FC Trollhättan as a defender.
He was one of five Congolese players recruited from Kinshasa City by Djurgårdens IF in 2002.[1] In 2003 the reigning Swedish champions loaned him out to their associate club Åtvidabergs FF. Before the 2005 season the move to Åtvidaberg was made permanent.[2]
In December 2005 Ekunde signed a three-year deal with Gothenburg club GAIS[3] and has, barring injuries, been a starting player for them ever since. In 2007, he was given the GAIS player of the year award[4] and also extended his contract to the end of 2012.[5]
On 20 March 2013 Ekunde signed a contract with the Norwegian club Viking.[6]
In March 2014, Ekunde resigned for GAIS.[7]
