The DR Congo international is among new players who will be officially presented to club supporters at the annual Rayon Sports Day due Saturday, August 5, at Kigali Pele Stadium.<\/p>\n

He was one of the key figures in Rayon\u2019s 2023 Peace Cup success that earned them a ticket back to the CAF Confederation Cup after beating fierce rivals APR FC 1-0 in the final held on June 3 at Huye Stadium.<\/p>\n

Luvumbu, 29, had his first spell at Rayon Sports in April 2021 where he spent just four months before heading to Angola’s Clube Desportivo Primeiro de Agosto for a one-year contract. He rejoined the club in December 2022 after he agreed to play for the club on a six-month deal.<\/p>\n

The midfielder rose to fame in 2014 when he played for his hometown club AS Vita Club in DRC. He left in 2017 to join Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Luvumbu moved to Moroccan side AS FAR of Morocco, playing for the club until 2019 when he joined Club Athletic Youssoufia Berrechid.<\/p>\n

He made his international football debut for DR Congo\u2019s Les Le\u0301opards in 2014 and he was part of the team that won the 2016 African Nations Championship (CHAN) held in Rwanda.<\/p>\n
