Early years and non-League football[edit]

A forward, Mpongo began his youth career in his native Netherlands and moved to England in 2016.[3][4] He subsequently played for a number of academies and the Dulwich Hamlet, Andover Town and AFC Bournemouth Sparsholt youth teams,[3][5][6][7] before signing a contract with Southern League Premier Division Central club Needham Market in mid-October 2021.[8] Mpongo gained his first senior experience with the club and made 16 appearances and scored four goals before departing Bloomfields in late January 2022.[9][10]

Brentford[edit]

On 31 January 2022, Mpongo transferred to the B team at Premier League club Brentford and signed a contract running until the end of the 2021–22 season, with the option of a further year.[10] He made eight B team appearances and scored one goal,[11] before spending the final two months of his contract away on loan.[11][12]
