Career

[edit]

Born in Kinshasa, René Makondele started his career in DRC with Kinshasa City. He then was spotted by Swedish scouts from Djurgårdens IF who brought him to Sweden, alongside Yannick Bapupa and Blaise Mbemba. During his time in Djurgårdens IF he mostly came on as a substitute, and in 2005 he was loaned out to Allsvenskan rivals Gefle IF.[1] He impressed Gefle manager Per Olsson enough for Gefle to buy him from Djurgården.[2] He stayed with the club for another year and a half, when Helsingborgs IF signed him in the middle of the 2007 season.[3] Following a lack of playing time in 2010, Makondele decided to leave Helsingborgs IF. His previous clubs, Gefle IF and Djurgårdens IF, showed interest in him, but he rejected both.[4] Instead he joined BK Häcken, signing a three-year contract which starts on 1 January 2011,[5] however following a minor dispute between the two clubs over when Makondele would leave Helsingborg, an agreement was reached and Makondele left Helsingborgs IF in the 2010 summer instead.[6]

In late 2016, Makondele rejoined Gefle for the 2017 season.[7]
