About the player
Rotterdam raised Joey Tshitoku through Belgian academy football. The centre-back never settled long in any one place after that.
Spartak Varna signed the defender as a free agent in July 2026, bringing him into Bulgarian football for the first time at 24. He wears the number 45 shirt and stands 190cm tall, a physical profile suited to his role at centre-back. Early signs at the club have been encouraging: in the efbet Liga this season he has made six appearances and already scored once, a rare return for a player in his position, alongside a single yellow card.
Tshitoku's career has been defined less by a signature moment than by movement — six clubs across four countries inside six years, each spell measured in months rather than seasons. Spartak Varna is his first club in Bulgaria, and the early goal tally suggests he has settled into the side's defensive unit without the usual delay that comes with a new league and a new language.
