Haji Suleiman Haji Ali Mnoga (born 16 April 2002) is a professional footballer who plays as a right-back. Born in England, he plays for the Tanzania national team.

Personal life

[edit]

Haji Mnoga was born in Portsmouth to a Tanzanian father and English mother. Mnoga attended Cottage Grove Primary School and Trafalgar School.[2] His father also played football and represented Zanzibar under 17's.

Club career

[edit]

Mnoga progressed through Portsmouth's youth categories. He has been at the club since 2008. He was offered a two-year scholarship contract on 28 June 2018.[4]

Mnoga made his professional debut on 9 October 2018, starting in a 1–0 EFL Trophy away win against Crawley Town.[5] At the age of 16 years, five months and 24 days, he became the second-youngest player to debut for the club in their post-war history, only behind fellow Academy teammate Joe Hancott.[2]

On 21 March 2020, Mnoga tested positive for COVID-19.[6]

Having recovered from COVID-19, Mnoga featured for Gosport Borough in a 1-0 pre-season victory over local rivals Havant & Waterlooville at Privett Park in September 2020, having been loaned for the evening by Pompey to their neighbours across the harbour.

On 3 November 2020, Mnoga made his league debut for Portsmouth, coming off the bench to play right-wing in a 3-1 win at Lincoln City.[7] He made his full league debut in a 4-1 home win over Crewe Alexandra, coming off at half-time. He scored his first goal for Portsmouth in an EFL Trophy tie against Cheltenham Town on 8 December 2020.[8]

On 31 August 2021, Mnoga signed a new three-year contract with Portsmouth before moving on loan to National League side Bromley until January 2022.[9]

On 8 January 2022, Mnoga joined National League side Weymouth on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[10] He joined Gillingham on a season-long loan on deadline day in the summer of 2022,[11] where he was sent off after 10 minutes of his debut.[12] In January 2023, he joined Aldershot Town on loan until the end of the season.[13]

On 2 August 2023, Mnoga returned to Aldershot Town on a season-long loan deal.[14]

On 1 May 2024, Portsmouth said the player would be released in the summer when his contract expired.[15]

International career

[edit]

Mnoga was eligible to represent both England and Tanzania at international level. Mnoga made his England U17 debut on 10 February 2019, coming on at half-time against Hungary U17 in a 4–1 penalty friendly win.[16] He debuted with Tanzania national team in a 3–1 friendly win over Central African Republic on 24 March 2022.[17] Mnoga reportedly rejected a call up to the Tanzania Under-23 side in September 2022 to focus on his duties at Gillingham.[18]
