Jean-Paul Kamudimba Kalala (born March 16, 1982 in Lubumbashi, Katanga) is a Congolese football midfielder who currently plays for Oldham Athletic in Football League One. His predominant position is as a midfielder.
Kamudimba Kalala joined Grimsby Town from the French club OGC Nice on July 1, 2005 and was a regular in the first team, but lost his place in the starting XI after he went to the African Nations Cup.
He was part of the Congolese 2004 African Nations Cup team, who finished bottom of their group in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals. In 2006 he was again part of the squad that reached the quarter-finals, but did not get on the pitch.
He is most famous for scoring the goal that sent Premiership side Tottenham Hotspur out of the 2005 League Cup for Grimsby.
He joined Yeovil in the summer of 2006 on a free transfer from Grimsby, where he had previously played for Glovers manager Russell Slade.
After one season with the Somerset club, where he was part of the side that reached the playoff final, he moved again on a free to League One side Oldham Athletic.
