In a statement, Mazembe said they felt compelled to renew the contract of the talented forward in recognition of his contribution to the club.

“Arriving in Lubumbashi with the ambition of taking a step forward in his career, Patrick Mwaungulu has gradually established himself as an important part of the squad.

His commitment, his tactical discipline and his ability to make the difference in the last thirty metres convinced the sporting management to continue the joint adventure.

This extension is part of the club’s desire to stabilise its squad, secure its talents and build a competitive team, capable of meeting the demands of national and continental competitions. It also reflects the mutual trust between the club and the player, around a clear and ambitious sporting project.

By renewing its confidence in Patrick Mwaungulu, TPM reaffirms its commitment to continuity, performance and the development of players who are fully invested in defending the black and white colors. The club wishes Patrick Mwaungulu every success for the rest of his career in the jersey of the Crows.”

When did Mwaungulu join Mazembe?

The attacking midfielder moved to Congo after impressing with Malawian record champions Nyasa Big Bullets in 2023, when he was named Player of the Year and FDH Cup best player. He scored 27 goals in 81 appearances for the Blantyre giants.

The 23-year-old joined the Linafoot Ligue 1 giants in August 2024 from Bullets on a one-year contract alongside teammate Lanjesi Nkhoma.

The duo, however, could not join Mazembe’s squad straightaway due to then transfer restrictions which FIFA placed on the former CAF Champions League winners.

Therefore, the two players ended up spending time at fellow Congolese top flight club CS Don Bosco until the ban was lifted. The Malawians returned to the parent club in May 2025, where they have excelled.
