Isaac Angus Mabaya (born 22 September 2004) is an English professional footballer who plays for Liverpool. [2]
Born in Preston, Lancashire to Zimbabwean parents. His father is David Mabaya and his mother Rosina Mugabe. He joined Liverpool aged six years-old. [3] [4]
Mabaya progressed through the academy system at Liverpool. He initially played as a midfielder but transitioned to right-back during the 2020-21 season. [5] He signed his first professional contract with the club in September 2021. [6] In January 2022, he made the Liverpool first-team match day squad for the first time when he was an unused substitute in the F.A. Cup against Shrewsbury Town. [7]
Mabaya impressed enough during the 2021-22 season, playing at right-back for the Liverpool under-18 side, that he was chosen to tour the Far East with the Liverpool first-team squad during the summer of 2022. He had game time on the tour, and featured against Manchester United in Bangkok. [8] [9]
Mabaya's 2022-23 season was curtailed by a season-ending ankle injury in October 2022. He signed a new professional contract with Liverpool in May 2023. [10]
An England youth international, he was called up to the England U18 side for the first time in March 2022. [11] He scored on his debut, against Sweden U18. [12]
Mabaya later received his first call-up to the England U19 side in September 2022. [13] He made his debut that month in a 6-0 home win against Georgia U19, providing an assist for Liverpool teammate Oakley Cannonier. [14] [15]
In November 2023, Mabaya was called-up by Baltemar Brito to the senior Zimbabwe national football team for FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Rwanda and Nigeria. [16] [17] However, he did not feature in the finalised squad for the matches. [18] [19]
