Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo, born on the 1st of July 1995 (currently 29 years old) hails from Belgium. This footballing force primarily operates in the defensive lineup as the left back for Standard Liege. Sporting the number 5 jersey, Bolingoli's physical attributes play a significant role in his style of play, standing at 5ft 11in (1.81m) and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg).
Cutting his teeth in the world of professional football, Bolingoli stepped up as a trainee at Club Brugge in the Pro League in Belgium back in July 2010. Showcasing his tenacious play, Bolingoli started making waves and earning his place in the first team during the 2013-2014 to 2016-2017 seasons at Club Brugge where he made a total of 32 first team appearances and netted one goal in league matches.
Branching out from his beginnings, Bolingoli transitioned to Sint-Truiden, also in the Pro League, by way of loan in January 2017 where he made seven first team appearances. By July 2017, leaving Belgium behind, he made the move to Rapid Vienna in Austria's Bundesliga for an undisclosed fee.
His time at Rapid Vienna saw Bolingoli continue to solidify his place as a resilient left back. Over the course of the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons, he made 53 first team appearances and managed to find the back of the net three times.
True to his adventurous spirit, Bolingoli yet again donned a new jersey. In July 2019, he ventured to Scotland's Premiership to join Celtic for a fee of around Β£3m. His time with Celtic was eventful, yet the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022 seasons saw him make only 17 first team appearances in league matches.
While at Celtic, Bolingoli experienced a period of loan to Istanbul Basaksehir in Turkey's SΓΌper Lig in September 2020. Here he made 12 first team appearances within the season before returning to Celtic in June 2021.
In February 2022, a spell of loan took Bolingoli to Ufa in Russia's National League which was shortly followed by a permanent transfer to Mechelen in the Pro League in Belgium in July 2022 for an undisclosed fee. Here he registered 23 first team appearances across the 2022-2023 and early 2023-2024 season.
Bolingoli's latest move has seen him return to his home country of Belgium, as he joined Standard Liege in the Pro League in July 2024. In the current 2024-2025 season, Bolingoli has already marked two first team appearances, a testament to his diligent play and determination.
