Joel Mvuka, a forward born on 12th November 2002 in Norway, currently serves Celtic, with his prime position on the right wing. Standing at a height of 5ft 8in (1.73 m), with a weight of 10st 3lb (65 kg), he is known for his agility on the playing field. Transfermarkt appraises his current market value approximately at £1.7m.
Mvuka's career started in the OBOS-ligaen with Asane, from where he transferred to Bodo Glimt in Norway's Eliteserien in August 2021 for an undisclosed fee. His debut season was marked by eight first-team appearances, followed by an impressive 26 appearances and two goals in the 2022 season. His form continued into 2023, with 12 appearances and three goals.
In July 2023, a new chapter in his career began with a move to Lorient in France's Ligue 1. The transfer fee, reportedly around £5.5m, signalled a significant step forward. Despite initially struggling with only seven appearances in his debut season (2023-2024), he bounced back remarkably. For 2024-2025, Mvuka made 30 appearances and slotted three goals. The current 2025-2026 season sees him in action, with 15 first-team appearances thus far.
January 2024 saw Mvuka transfer from Lorient to Young Boys Bern in the Swiss Super League on a loan deal. During his time there, he made 16 appearances and scored twice. However, by June 2024, he had returned to Lorient in France, where he continued to hone his skills, making seven appearances for the 2023-2024 season, 30 in the following season where he scored three goals, and has 15 in the current 2025-2026 season.
Recently in February 2026, Mvuka was loaned to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. Though he hasn't made any first-team appearances in league matches this season for Celtic yet, he has already marked his presence in the Scottish Cup 2025-2026 with one start. As Mvuka steps onto Celtic Park, one can only anticipate the impact he will have in the green and white hoops.
