Joel Mvuka, born on 12 November 2002 (age 23), is a Norwegian right winger who made his name at Bodo/Glimt before moving through Lorient and on to Celtic. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Bodo/Glimt gave him the platform to develop as a first-team player. His most productive league season came there in 2023, when he scored three goals in 12 appearances – modest enough, but enough to show the directness and end product that made him more than just another wide runner.
Celtic signed Mvuka from Lorient in February 2026. In 2026, he has made six league appearances and scored one goal, with the same return in six Eliteserien appearances, plus one Champions League appearance for Bodo/Glimt. Across all competitions for Bodo/Glimt that year, he has seven appearances and one goal.
His career to this point has been built around Bodo/Glimt, Lorient and now Celtic, with his early senior football in Norway doing most of the shaping. He remains a developing winger rather than a finished article.
