In his early playing days, Mbola featured for Kitwe based sides Afrisports and Mining Rangers.

Mbola has also previously played for Pyunik Yerevan where he tasted UEFA Champions League football with the then Armenia champions in the 2009/2010 campaign.

Mbola then joined TP Mazembe and later moved to Portugal on a loan deal from the DR Congo giants where he featured for FC Porto between 2012 and 2013.

The exciting speedy left-back spent six seasons in Israel at Hapoel Ra'anana and later before joining another Israeli side Bnei Sakhnin.

He also has two AFCON outings under his belt, making his debut as the youngest player at the 2010 AFCON in Angola at the age of16 as Zambia reached their first quarterfinals since 1996 while his last AFCON outing was in 2013 in South Africa.
