Richie Ephraim Musaba (born 6 December 2000) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Estonian Meistriliiga club Levadia.
On 12 May 2019, Musaba made his professional debut with Vitesse in a 6–1 Eredivisie win against De Graafschap, coming on as a substitute for Navarone Foor in the 82nd minute and scoring his team's last goal minutes later.[2]
After failing to break through at Vitesse, he joined Fortuna Sittard on 4 September 2020 on a two-year contract, who sent him on a one-season loan to second-tier side FC Dordrecht on the same day.[3] [4] He made his debut for Dordrecht on 7 September in a 2–1 loss to FC Den Bosch, coming on as a substitute in the 88th minute for Kevin Jansen.[5]
On 29 July 2022, Musaba was loaned to TOP Oss.[6] His loan spell was unsuccessful, and he made only four appearances for the club in the first half of the season before returning prematurely to Fortuna in January 2023.[7] In March 2023, the club announced the formal termination of his contract in accordance with regulations, which meant that he was set to leave Fortuna at the end of the season.[8]
Musaba was born to Congolese parents. His twin brother Anthony is also a professional footballer.[9]
