Benjamin Mbunga Kimpioka

Benjamin Mbunga Kimpioka of St Johnstone was born in Knivsta, Sweden on 21 February 2000 (age 24)

Benjamin Mbunga Kimpioka, born in Sweden on the 21st of February in the year 2000 and currently 24 years of age, serves as a forward in most instances as a predominant striker for St Johnstone. With a stature of 1.82m (5ft 11in) and weight of 67kg (10st 7lb), Kimpioka also dons the number 29 jersey for his team.

Recalling his early days, in July of 2016, he joined Sunderland as a trainee, marking his entrance into the Championship in England. Later, in March of 2021, he sought another adventure by going on loan from Sunderland to Torquay United, a team in England's National League South.

Upon fulfilling his temporary duties at Torquay United in July 2021, he returned to Sunderland only to be loaned again in September of the same year, this time to Southend United, a club in England's National League. His stint at Southend United ended in November 2021 as he found his way back to Sunderland.

In March of 2022, Kimpioka decided to return to his homeland and transferred to AIK in the Allsvenskan in Sweden. The sum of cash involved in this transaction has been withheld from the media. In his debut season with AIK, Kimpioka managed to secure 16 first-team appearances and score a single goal in league matches.

His journey continued in January 2023 when he was loaned to Luzern, where he played in the Super League in Switzerland. During the 2022-2023 season at Luzern, Kimpioka recorded six first-team appearances and added another league goal to his tally. In July 2023, Kimpioka's loan deal ended, and he found his way back to AIK.

His next major move came in January 2024, when he transferred from AIK to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership, the fee again undisclosed. During the 2023-2024 season at St Johnstone, he managed 17 first-team appearances and netted three times in league battles. For the current 2024-2025 season, he has already made six first-team appearances and scored twice in league games.

More notably, his efforts in the League Cup 2024-2025 for St Johnstone certainly made an impression as he notched up five goals in five starts. Added to this, in the Scottish Cup competition for the 2023-2024 season, he made one start for St Johnstone.
