Career

Southend United

Born in Brussels, Moussa is a Belgian under-18 international. He made his Southend United first team debut as a 16 year old in the final minutes of the 3–0 win over Colchester United on 4 March 2006, coming on for midfielder Luke Guttridge. He was also part of the squad that saw Southend gain promotion to the Championship in the 2–2 draw away at Swansea City.

He joined Wycombe Wanderers on a two-month loan on 16 October 2008 and made nine League Two appearances.[2]

Moussa returned to Southend on 23 December. He was named on the bench for Southend's FA Cup third-round game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and replaced Jean-François Christophe in the 74th minute. Southend drew the game 1–1 when Peter Clarke equalised in injury time.

Moussa scored his first professional goal on 21 February 2009 against Colchester after running half the length of the pitch to volley in Theo Robinson's cross. The goal proved to be the match winner of the Essex derby.

Leicester City

Moussa chose not to remain at Southend after their relegation to League Two, and on 13 August 2010 he signed for Leicester City on a two-year contract.[3] He scored his first goal for Leicester in their 3–1 victory over Scunthorpe United on 2 October 2010.

Loan to Doncaster Rovers

On 19 February 2011 Moussa joined Doncaster Rovers on a one month emergency loan deal.[4] He made his debut the same day against Swansea City. Moussa scored his first Doncaster goal against Leeds United on 5 March 2011. The loan deal was extended by a month on March 23, 2011.[5]
