Career

[edit]

Maka Kum was abandoned in Moscow aged 17 by a rogue agent that disappeared once they had arrived in Russia. After a while in Moscow, Maka Kum went on trial, and signed for Illichivets Mariupol. Six months later, Maka Kum left Illichivets Mariupol and returned to Moscow. After a trial with Dynamo Makhachkala, Maka Kum was approached by, and joined, KAMAZ in 2005 before quickly following the head coach to Dordoi Bishkek.[1]

In February 2010, Maka Kum signed for Dacia Chișinău of the Moldovan National Division,[2][3] before joining CF Găgăuzia on loan on 31 August 2010.[4] In July 2013, Maka Kum went on trial with Dnepr Mogilev of the Belarusian Premier League.[5]

After moving to Switzerland, Maka Kum went on trial with Lausanne-Sport before signing for Siviriez thanks to Andrei Rudakov. Maka Kum then went on to stay in Switzerland, playing for Echallens, Azzurri 90 Lausanne and FC Renens, despite interest from the Russian Professional Football League.[1]
