Brice Wambangomo has completed a move to Swedish top-flight club BK Häcken from Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt in a transfer worth €1 million. The 28-year-old Congolese right-back has signed a contract that will keep him at the club until 2028.
A New Chapter in Sweden
Wambangomo arrives in Sweden after three successful seasons with Bodø/Glimt, where he won a league title and gained valuable experience in the UEFA Europa League.
His performances in Norway caught the attention of BK Häcken, a club that has established itself as a serious contender in Swedish football in recent seasons.
The Congolese defender will now be expected to play a key role in Häcken’s ambitions, as they continue to challenge for domestic silverware and European competition spots.
Following in the Footsteps of René Makondele
Wambangomo’s move to BK Häcken draws parallels with the career path of former Congolese footballer René Makondele.
The former DR Congo international enjoyed great success with Häcken before finishing his career with Sandviken in Sweden.
Wambangomo will now look to make his own mark at the club, hoping to emulate the impact of his compatriot.
Proven Quality in Scandinavian Football
Having been developed at Sarpsborg, Wambangomo has steadily built his reputation in Scandinavian football. Last season, he made 17 league appearances for Bodø/Glimt, reinforcing his defensive consistency.
With his experience and technical ability, he is expected to strengthen Häcken’s backline as they aim for a strong campaign.
His arrival signals the club’s intent to bolster their squad with experienced players capable of competing at the highest level.
As he embarks on this new challenge, all eyes will be on how Wambangomo adapts to Swedish football and contributes to Häcken’s aspirations.
