Career edit
Charlton Athletic edit
Mambo started his career in Charlton Athletic's youth academy, and on turning professional went on numerous loans to non-league sides Welling United,[1] Dover Athletic,[2] Staines Town,[3] Eastbourne Borough,[4] and Ebbsfleet United.[5]
Having signed a one-year contract extension at Charlton in July 2012,[6] Mambo went on further loan deals at AFC Wimbledon in League Two[7] and Shrewsbury Town in League One[8] but was released at the end of the season.[9] Mambo subsequently went on trial at Colchester United in July 2013 but was not offered a deal after suffering an knee injury during his trial.[10]
Ebbsfleet United edit
After a period out of the game, Mambo rejoined his former loan club Ebbsfleet United, now playing in the Conference South on 1 February 2014, initially on non-contract terms.[11][12]
Margate edit
On 29 May 2016, Mambo signed for Margate.[13]
Ebbsfleet United edit
Mambo re-joined Ebbsfleet, where their failings to give him the number 5 shirt (in reference to the famous 1999 hit Mambo No. 5) went viral. After the social media outcry, he did don the shirt for a match, the shirt was then auctioned off. Mambo retired through injury aged 26 in late 2017.
Wealdstone edit
After he was given the all-clear to play part-time, Mambo joined Wealdstone on non-contract terms in the summer of 2018.[14]
