[edit] Club career
He 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 wasn't offered a permanent deal.
He was released by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp in June 2009 and, after short trials at Burton Albion and Hereford United, he decided to join Burton Albion on a two-year contract.[2] He made his first team debut for Burton on 8 August 2009 in a 3–1 away defeat to Shrewsbury Town.[3]
[edit] International career
Maghoma was called into the Congo team for some post-season friendlies in May 2010.[4] He made his debut for his country's B team against Saudi Arabia's B team on 20 May, and scored in that game.[5]
