BALI Mumba has declared he has 'unfinished business' in the Championship and sees Plymouth Argyle as the best place for him to do that.
The 21-year-old returned to Norwich City for the start of pre-season after his highly successful loan spell with the League One title-winning Pilgrims but it soon became clear his opportunities to play for the Canaries would be limited.
They viewed him as only a rightback, whereas Argyle manager Steven Schumacher regards him as a versatile player who can slot into a variety of roles.
So Mumba jumped at the chance to return to Home Park as the Pilgrims' second £1 million signing in a week, following that of Morgan Whittaker from Swansea City.
Mumba is not new to the Championship, after playing at that level for Peterborough United in the second half of the 2021/22 season.
However, he made only seven starts and three substitute appearances for relegated Posh as the loan did not work out the way he had hoped.
Now, with a year older and with much more first team experience following his stint at Argyle last term, Mumba is ready to tackle the challenge of the Championship again.
Mumba said: "It's unfinished business for me in terms of playing in the Championship. My last time was with Peterborough and it didn't go the way I wanted it to go.
