Huddersfield Town have confirmed the signing of winger Bali Mumba from Plymouth Argyle on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old has signed a long-term contract to stay with the Club until at least the summer of 2029.

Mumba, who hails from South Shields, started his professional career at Sunderland, making his debut at just 16 years old.

After moving to Norwich City in 2020, Mumba gained promotion to the Premier League with the team and made one appearance at that level.

He later spent time at Peterborough United and Plymouth Argyle, where he contributed to Plymouth’s automatic promotion to the Championship.

Huddersfield Town Manager Lee Grant praised the addition to the squad, saying:

“Bali is an exciting footballer who undoubtedly strengthens our squad for the second half of the season, and beyond.

“In our conversations to date he’s shown a real appetite to take on a new challenge and push himself to improve even further, sharing our ambitions and displaying a genuine desire to be a Huddersfield Town player.

“Blessed with natural pace, the confidence to take on his man and the adaptability to be equally effective in a number of positions, I’m excited to get working with Bali and see us benefit from his contributions as soon as possible.

“Having enjoyed the experience of succeeding at this level in the past and wanting to test himself beyond it again, Bali has the right mentality both on and off the pitch to help us in trying to achieve our shared goals.”

Mumba has already made 30 appearances for Plymouth Argyle this season, registering four assists.
