Career

Born in Paris, Kalala played in Italy for Jolly Montemurlo, Carpi and Savona.

He signed for English club Cheltenham Town in August 2018, making his debut on 4 August 2018. On 5 October 2018, Kalala left Cheltenham after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.

On 11 October 2018, Kalala signed for Torquay United of the National League South on a contract until January 2019; Torquay manager Gary Johnson had also been Kalala's manager at Cheltenham. He scored his first Torquay United goal with the opener against Winchester City on 20 October 2018 in a 4–1 FA Cup qualifying match victory.

On 27 April 2019, Kalala scored the fastest goal in Torquay United history, scoring after ten seconds in a 4–0 win against St Albans City. He left the club at the end of the 2019–20 season, with Torquay announcing that they would be seeking compensation if he signed for another club as he was under 24.

In July 2021, he underwent a trial with German club FSV Zwickau. He later returned to France and signed for Entente Feignies Aulnoye.

He returned to England in December to play with Dartford. On 22 June 2022, it was confirmed that Kalala had left Dartford.
