Slough Town Football Club is delighted to confirm that Balu Makumbi will remain with the Rebels for the 2026/27 season.
The 20-year-old central defender is regarded as one of the club’s brightest young prospects and will continue his football education at Arbour Park under the leadership of Alan Julian and the coaching staff.
Makumbi made his senior debut for Slough Town in the Berks & Bucks FA Senior Cup tie away to Hungerford Town in December 2024 and has continued to develop impressively since stepping into senior football.
He has also gained valuable experience through dual registration spells with clubs including Northwood and Cray Valley (PM), helping accelerate his progress with regular senior minutes.
To date, Makumbi has made 22 senior appearances for the Rebels, with the majority coming last season as he was called upon to cover for more experienced players missing through injury and suspension. His performances showed maturity beyond his years and highlighted the potential he possesses.
Everyone at the club is excited to see Balu continue his development in amber and blue and looks forward to watching his progress throughout the 2026/27 campaign.
