Brooklyn Kabongolo (born 16 October 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Scottish Premiership side Livingston.

Club career

Kabongolo came through the youth academy at Ipswich, but left the club without making a single first team appearance. After his exit from Portman Road, Kabongolo signed for Billericay Town in 2023. Some impressive performances led to the opportunity to sign for Southend United.[1]

He signed for Southend United for the second half of the 2023-2024 season. The defender made 13 league appearances for the Shrimpers before deciding to leave the club in February 2024 after failing to agree a new deal.[2][3]

The Frenchman signed for Oxford City in July 2024. After making 9 first team appearances for the club, he was on the move again when he signed for Aveley in October 2024.[4]

Kabongolo's good form earned him a move to Scottish side Livingston in July 2025, signing a two year deal with the West Lothian club.[5]
