Born in Lubumbashi, Zaire, Maghoma began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, joining the youth academy in 2003.

He was released by Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp in June 2009 and, after short trials at Burton Albion and Hereford United, he decided to join Burton Albion on a two-year contract.[2] He made his first team debut for Burton on 8 August 2009 in a 3–1 away defeat to Shrewsbury Town.[3] His first Burton goal came in a 2–0 home win against Barnet on 19 October 2009.[4]

At the end of the 2012–2013 season Maghoma was named in the Football League Two PFA team of the year, the first Burton Albion player to do so.

Sheffield Wednesday

In June 2013 Maghoma signed a two-year contract with Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.[5] Maghoma's first appearance for the Owls came against newly relegated QPR.

International career

Maghoma was called into the DR Congo team for some post-season friendlies in May 2010.[6] He made his debut for his country's B team against Saudi Arabia's B team on 20 May, and scored in that game.[7]
