He was at his best in the playoffs 2, Zulte Waregem made it all the way to the final. Bongonda, a product of Jean-Marc Guillou Academy, had already played for Zulte Waregem for the first time in January 2013. For the following two years, the Belgian international youth had made a strong impression. Foreign clubs came to pick him up and Celta Vigo was the chosen team in January 2015 with a four and a half year contract. Bongonda – despite 77 meetings – never managed to become a starter. A six-month loan in Trabzonspor, Turkey, between July 2017 and January 2018 was a failure. After which Zulte Waregem again proved to be beneficial for the player last January.
