Career

edit

When Mitu was eight, his parents moved from the Congolese capital Kinshasa to Belgium. The family settled in Berlare where young Mitu joined local club SKV Overmere, where he was plucked away by Sporting Lokeren's youth scouts after barely one year.[2] At Lokeren, Mitu made it all the way to the first team squad a few years later.

Mitu made his first appearance in the Belgian Pro League for Lokeren on 8 December 2012 against KV Mechelen, after a substitution.[1]

Between 2016 and 2020, Mitu played for Eendracht Aalst.[3] In April 2020, he moved to Londerzeel.[4]

In January 2021, Mitu signed with Sint-Eloois-Winkel.[5] He made his debut for the club on 31 October 2021, coming on as a late substitute for Nagim Amini in a 1–1 draw against RFC Liège in the third-tier Belgian National Division 1.[6]
