Mayindou Karl Madianga (born 30 January 1994) is a French footballer who plays as a midfielder.

Career

[edit]

Madianga began his career in his hometown club Le Mans. On 5 February 2017, he joined Bulgarian club Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa.[1] He made his professional league debut on 2 April 2017 in a 5–0 home win against Vereya, coming on as substitute for Mohamed Ben Othman.[2] Madianga didn't report back at the beginning of the 2017–18 season so the club has undertaken legal proceedings at FIFA.[3]

Madianga signed for Scottish Premiership club Dundee in May 2018.[4][5] He left the club on 31 January 2019.[6]

After three years out of the senior game which he claimed was due to issues with his agent, Madianga returned to football with Finnish second tier side Ekenäs in January 2022, and would make 15 Ykkönen appearances in his season there.[7]

International career

[edit]

Born in France, Madianga is of Republic of the Congo descent. He is a youth international for France.[8]
