Henry Nyambe Mulenga (born 27 August 1987 in Chingola, Zambia) is a Zambian footballer who currently plays in defence for ZESCO United F.C. in the Zambian Premier League.
Nyambe was part of the Zambian U-20 side which made the Quarterfinals of the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada[1] . He is a physical central defender, supported by the notion he was suspended for two of the four games Zambian played in the tournament, due to red card accumulation.[2]
Domestically, the 2007 season saw Henry score three times for his club, despite missing 6 weeks on international duty. Following the relegation of the Forest Rangers in 2007, he signed on with Zesco United for the 2008 season.
Called up, for the first time, to the national team as a late replacement for the first World Cup Qualifying match against Togo on May 31st, 2008.
