Benjamin Mbunga Kimpioka, was brought into this world on the 21 February 2000 in Sweden. At present he is 25 years of age and plays as a forward for St Johnstone. With a stature of 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing in at 10st 7lb (67kg), he primarily plays as a striker and proudly dons the number 29 jersey.
In the summer month of July 2016, Kimpioka joined the English Championship club, Sunderland, as a trainee. He then hopscotched clubs for a couple of years on loan. In March 2021, he moved from Sunderland to Torquay United, a National League South team in England. That stint lasted until July of the same year, whereupon he returned to Sunderland.
His time back in the Championship with Sunderland was brief, as in September of the same year, he found a new temporary home in Southend United, another English National League team. However, by November, he was back in the red-and-white stripes of Sunderland.
March 2022 saw a significant leap for Kimpioka, as he moved from Sunderland to AIK in Sweden's top-tier league, the Allsvenskan, for an undisclosed fee. His debut season in 2022 witnessed 16 appearances on the pitch with a solitary league goal to his name.
In the following winter, January 2023, he was temporarily whisked away to Luzern in the Swiss Super League. He made a minor impression during his loan period there, notching up six appearances and one goal. As summer dawned in July, he found himself back at AIK, where he repeated his performance of 16 appearances and one goal from the previous season.
After another winter, January 2024 brought forth a new adventure for Kimpioka. He transferred to St Johnstone, a Scottish Premiership club, for an undisclosed fee. He seemed to find his groove in Scotland as he made 17 appearances and netted thrice in league matches during the 2023 - 2024 season. His form only improved in the current season, 2024 - 2025; he graced the pitch 23 times and scored six goals.
His performances in St Johnstone haven't been limited to league matches. The 2024 - 2025 season saw Kimpioka participating in the League Cup where he scored five goals in five starts, and in the Scottish Cup where he made one appearance as a substitute.
