Ndumba Makeche is a Zambian-Australian professional football player who plays as a forward.

Early life

Makeche was born in Lusaka before emigrating to Australia. He became an Australian citizen in August 2012.

Club career

Shortly after arriving in Western Australia, Makeche joined State league side Stirling Lions where he played three seasons. A 2011 move to Inglewood United brought Makeche the regular first team football he sought, while his knack for finding the back of the net lead to a youth team deal with Perth Glory.

Perth Glory

In 2011, he signed a youth contract with A-League club Perth Glory. He made his professional debut in the 2011–12 A-League season on 18 March 2012 in a round 26 clash against Gold Coast United at the Skilled Park.

On 1 May 2012, it was announced he had signed a two-year senior contract with Perth Glory.

FELDA United

On 28 February 2014, after reaching a mutual agreement with Perth Glory, Makeche signed with Malaysian club FELDA United.

Sarawak

Makeche was revealed as the newest signing by Malaysian league side CF Sarawak in mid-December 2015 for 2016 Malaysia Super League.

South Melbourne

Makeche returned to Australia, signing for the remainder for the 2018 NPL season for South Melbourne. On 10 June 2018, he made his debut as a 71st-minute substitute against Dandenong Thunder, and scored the final goal in a 4–0 win, after being on the pitch for just 4 minutes.
