He received a first-team squad number and was one of four inexperienced players named on the bench for the visit to Preston North End in January 2022, remained unused in that and two further matches, and was released when his contract expired at the end of the season.
In April 2023, Masampu signed for Southern League club Metropolitan Police. Following his release in July 2023, Masampu would join Hornchurch in September 2023, making his debut in the FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round before leaving the club in October 2023 after two appearances.
