Hampton striker Kabamba follows Lowe to Pompey

Hampton & Richmond Borough striker Nicke Kabamba has joined League Two side Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old follows in the footsteps of close friend and former Hampton strike partner Jamal Lowe, whose move to Fratton Park was finalised earlier this month.

Kabamba, who has netted 22 goals in all competitions this season, has signed an 18-month deal with Pompey.

He told Hampton’s official website: “Being given this opportunity to become a professional footballer is brilliant and Portsmouth will be a great club to be at.

“Playing in front of 15-16,000 incredible fans like theirs will be amazing.

“I’m an ambitious person, and I always want to do better, to push myself further to see how far I can go, and I’ll be the same at Portsmouth.

“I will never be able to forget my time with Hampton. They gave me my confidence back and I started scoring goals again, I’ve had my best season ever and I owe it all to Hampton.”
