Portadown Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Rabby Tabu Minzamba, subject to international clearance.
The midfielder began his career in Dublin playing for his local club Corduff FC before progressing to the academy at League Of Ireland club Shelbourne where he played from age 15 to 19. He then moved over to England to study at university whilst also pursuing his playing career and has featured for Mangotsfield United, Highworth Town, Bath City, Taunton Town and most recently with Leinster Senior League side Montpelier.
The 22 year old will officially join the club when the January transfer window opens.
On making the move to Shamrock Park, Rabby commented
I’m very happy to be joining Portadown FC, I think it’s a great club to continue my development.
Towards the end of the summer window I was assessing my options between England and Northern Ireland until Shane Dolan contacted me and spoke to me about how big the club is and how great the fans are. Shane also spoke about my role and the history of the club.
I spoke to Niall and the management team and liked the vision they have for the club and how they see me playing a role in making that vision come to life so was a very easy decision in the end.
I’m looking forward to joining a brilliant group of lads as shown by the performances in the league and showcasing my ability in a really tough competitive league.
Portadown manager Niall Currie added
We’re delighted to have Rabby on board, it’s certainly been a process as we thought we could get him in straight away but unfortunately we have had to be patient.
Rabby has been playing away for Shane’s team and comes in ready to go, many thanks again to Shane as we’re all very excited to finally welcome Rabby to the club.
