Timeline

1986

Gabriel Abdala Zakuani (born 31 May 1986) is a Congolese retired professional footballer who played as a defender.

He is now a broadcaster and assistant manager of the DR Congo under-20 team.

2003

After two seasons in Orient's youth team, Zakuani was given his first-team debut against AFC Bournemouth in March 2003, aged 16.

2004

In the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons, he became a regular in Martin Ling's plans, making the central defence position his own and scoring three goals in almost 100 first team appearances for Orient.

2005

Zakuani began his career with Leyton Orient, and was a vital member of the side which gained promotion in 2005–06 and also knocked Premier League side Fulham out of the FA Cup.

2006

He was signed by Fulham in August 2006, but failed to make an impact at Craven Cottage, spending half the 2006–07 season and the whole of the 2007–08 season on loan at Stoke City, with whom he helped gain promotion to the Premier League.

In January 2006, Zakuani was part of the Leyton Orient side that defeated Premier League, Fulham 2–1 in the FA Cup third round.

His performance attracted the attention of the West London side, who signed him in July that year for a fee of £1 million, rising to £1.5 million depending on appearances, on a four-year contract.

The fee represented a club record for Leyton Orient.

Zakuani only played twice for Fulham in his three-year spell with the club, in the League Cup against Wycombe Wanderers and in the FA Cup against Leicester City.

Zakuani signed for Stoke City on loan for the remainder of the 2006–07 season.

Despite being a centre back, Zakuani also deputised as a right-back during his loan spell.

He went on to make another eight appearances for Stoke during the 2006–07 season as City narrowly missed out on a play-off place.

2007

He made his debut for Stoke in a 2–0 win away at Derby County in February 2007.

On 31 August 2007, Zakuani re-signed for Stoke on loan for the rest of the 2007–08 season.

This time he made 19 appearances as Stoke were promoted to the Premier League.

Zakuani later admitted he would like to make a permanent move to Stoke: "The gaffer [Tony Pulis] said he'd like me here so I'll wait and see what happens in the summer. Obviously Stoke would be my first choice but you always think where you will be wanted the most."

Despite this, a move never happened.

Gabriel Zakuani was then sent to Peterborough United on a three-month loan.

2008

He signed for Peterborough United in 2008–09, initially on loan, before making the move permanent.

With the "Posh" Zakuani gained promotion in 2008–09 but were then relegated in 2009–10.

On 25 November 2008, it was confirmed that he would make his loan move permanent when the transfer window re-opened on 1 January 2009, for a fee in the region of £375,000.

2011

They gained an instant return by beating Huddersfield Town 3–0 in the 2011 League One play-off final.

2012

After spending two seasons in the Championship, Peterborough suffered relegation at the end of the 2012–13 season.

On 8 July 2012, Zakuani was given captaincy of Peterborough United, where he would succeed Grant McCann.

On 12 November 2012, he was transfer listed and fined following a breach of club discipline following a night out in Peterborough.

Zakuani wrote on Twitter, explaining: "I went out on a weekend whether there's no midweek game, those that know me know I don't drink or smoke, I was up at 8am for church the next day."

He was later taken off the transfer list and had his fine repealed.

As a result of not being transfer list, Zakuani was available for the next match.

Zakuani says the incident changed his attitude, and he vowed to stay behind more in training.

At the end of the 2012–13 season, which resulted in Peterborough United relegation, Zakuani was placed on the transfer list for the second time after rejecting a three-year contract with the club, due to his increasing international commitment.

2014

In January 2014, Zakuani decided to join Superleague Greece side Kalloni.

He returned, however, to Peterborough in June 2014.

Born in Kinshasa, Zakuani moved to London as a young child.

Leyton Orient spotted him playing in one of his school matches as a 14-year old and signed him.

On 2 January 2014, Zakuani signed a contract with Kalloni, who are competing in Superleague Greece, the top flight of Greek football.

On 8 June 2014, Zakuani made a return to Peterborough, signing a two-year contract stating: "I missed the club and this feels like a homecoming. I feel like there is unfinished business here. I want to get this club back to the Championship."

2016

Zakuani signed for Northampton Town in June 2016.

He scored his first goal for Northampton in a 4–2 win at Shrewsbury Town on 22 October 2016.

2017

Zakuani signed for League One side Gillingham on a one-year deal on 7 June 2017, after rejecting a new contract offer from Northampton Town.
