Christian Maghoma decided to quit Tottenham Hotspur in the summer in pursuit of first team football.

At the time he probably did not envision moving to Poland to do so.

Maghoma had a trial in early June with Dutch side FC Twente but no deal was struck.

He later signed with Polish club Arka Gdynia, who currently sit eighth in the country’s top flight.

Maghoma, 20, has faced a lengthy wait to get a chance in the league for his new club.

He had only made two cup appearances, one as a substitute, before this weekend.

On Saturday he was named as a starter as Arka took on Slask Wroclaw.

Maghoma featured at centre-back and helped his side to a 2-1 win, playing all 90 minutes.

Twente Insite reported in June that Maghoma had an offer to extend his contract at Tottenham but chose not to because he did not see a path to first team football.

The DR Congo international appears to be finally benefitting from his position, after reaching the first team for his new side.
