Erick Kenzo Kambale (born 3 March 2000) is a Congolese professional footballer who plays as a centre-forward for Libyan Premier League club El Ettihad Al-Misraty SC.
Kambale gained recognition during his tenure with Ugandan club Express F.C., where he was a key member of the squad that won the 2020–21 Uganda Premier League title and the 2021 CECAFA Kagame Cup.
Club career
Express FC
Kambale joined Express F.C. in 2018.[4] He established himself as an attacking player for the Kampala-based club. During the 2020–21 season, Kambale's contributions as Express FC secured their first league title since 2012.[5] He scored 15 goals in that league campaign, making him one of the top scorers.[6]
In 2021, Kambale also played a part in Express FC's triumph in the 2021 CECAFA Kagame Cup, contributing with goals during the regional tournament.[3] His performances earned him the Uganda Premier League Player of the Month award for May 2021, a period in which he was particularly prolific, scoring eight goals.[7][8]
He continued with Express into the 2021–22 season and participated in the CAF Champions League, where he scored against Sudanese club Al-Merrikh SC in a preliminary round fixture.[5] Overall for Express FC, he made a number of appearances and scored across various competitions.[2]
Al-Merrikh SC
In July 2022, Kambale transferred to the Sudanese club Al-Merrikh SC.[5][4] His stint in Sudan was relatively brief. A subsequent dispute arose concerning the transfer fee, with FIFA reportedly ruling in November 2023 that Al-Merrikh owed outstanding payments to Express FC.[9] He featured for Al-Merrikh in the CAF Champions League.
Vipers SC
Following his departure from Al-Merrikh, Kambale returned to Uganda, signing for Vipers SC ahead of the 2023–24 season.[9][3] During his season with Vipers, he made 21 league appearances and scored 4 goals, as the club finished third in the Uganda Premier League.[3][1]
El Ettihad Al-Misraty SC
In September 2024, Kambale moved to Libyan Premier League club El Ettihad Al-Misraty SC.[3] He embarked on his first full season with the Libyan side in the 2024–25 campaign.
