Jacques Maghoma Biography

Jacques Maghoma is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on October 23, 1987 in Lubumbashi, Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Jacques Ilonda Maghoma (born 23 October 1987) is a Congolese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for English Championship club Birmingham City.

Maghoma was called into the DR Congo squad for some post-season friendlies in May 2010 in Austria and Switzerland. He made his debut for his country’s B team against Saudi Arabia’s B team on 20 May, and scored. He made his senior debut during the same set of matches, as a second-half substitute, also against Saudi Arabia, but did not appear again until March 2015, in a friendly defeat against Iraq. He made his first competitive appearance for his country as a half-time substitute in the World Cup qualifier away to Burundi, which DR Congo won 3–2, and started the return match three days later, in which a 2–2 daw was enough for DR Congo to progress to the qualification group stage.

Maghoma began his career with Tottenham Hotspur, and has also played for Sheffield Wednesday and Burton Albion, where he was the player of the season for 2012–13. Internationally, Maghoma was first capped for the DR Congo in 2010.

Maghoma signed a two-year contract with Championship club Sheffield Wednesday in June 2013. He made an eventful debut on the opening day of the 2013–14 season against newly relegated Queens Park Rangers. Coming into the match as a first-half substitute for Joe Mattock, Maghoma was booked for diving when the victim of what QPR’s assistant manager agreed was a foul in the penalty area by the already-booked Joey Barton, and also shot against the post, as Sheffield Wednesday lost 2–1. He had missed some of pre-season training because of injury, and was not a regular in the team for the first few months of the season, but had a run in the starting eleven from late November, and scored his first goal in a 2–1 loss against Bournemouth. He also scored in a 4–1 win over Macclesfield Town in the FA Cup third round, and in a 2–0 win over Huddersfield Town in February 2014. His season effectively ended in March, when he was fouled by Wigan Athletic’s goalkeeper and suffered knee damage that kept him out until the final match, in which he had ten minutes as a substitute. He finished with three goals from 30 appearances in all competitions, and hoped to make a greater impact in the season to come.

After five years at the academy, Maghoma was released by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp in June 2009.

Born in Lubumbashi, Zaire, Maghoma began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, joining the youth academy in 2003. He progressed to the reserve side, making numerous appearances, although he suffered a number of injuries during his time at the club. He went on trial to Leeds United, but was not offered a permanent deal. Maghoma was also linked with a move to Hamburg in the summer, but the move never happened.

After training with both Hereford United and Burton Albion, Maghoma decided to join the latter, newly promoted to League Two, on a two-year contract. Manager Paul Peschisolido was impressed by his displays in the pre-season friendly matches, and Maghoma was in the starting eleven for both his and his team’s Football League debut, on 8 August 2009 in a 3–1 defeat away to Shrewsbury Town. His first Burton goal came in a 2–0 home win against Barnet on 19 October. Having established himself in the team in the second half of the season, he scored his second goal in a 1–0 home win against Port Vale on 6 February 2010, and his third in a 3–2 loss away to Morecambe ten days later. A knee injury suffered in mid-March flared up again in April, leaving the player facing exploratory surgery, and he missed much of the last two months of the season. He finished the campaign with 4 goals from 38 appearances in all competitions.

Maghoma began the 2012–13 season with a goal and an assist in a 6–2 win over AFC Wimbledon. He also “thundered in a swerving 30-yard effort”as Burton eliminated Championship side Leicester City from the League Cup on their own ground by four goals to two, and scored two goals and set up another for Calvin Zola in a 4–0 win over Oxford United. Four goals in three consecutive games – two against Fleetwood Town, and one each against Exeter City and Morecambe – earned Maghoma the League Two Player of the Month award for February 2013. He scored both goals in a 2–0 defeat of Wycombe Wanderers in April that took Burton into the automatic promotion positions, but they finished fourth, so went into the play-offs against Bradford City. Burton won the first leg 3–2, and Maghoma opened the scoring in the second from the penalty spot, but Bradford City won 5–4 on aggregate, so Burton stayed in League Two.
