His fourth and final appearance arrived on 10 September, having since been signed by Enfield Town, in a victory over Thame Rangers.

Enfield Town
Having started 2016–17 with his ex-club, Kiangebeni switched to Enfield Town within the first two months - though, initially, remained attached to Enfield Borough. His first appearance for the *Towners* came on 23 August 2016 as he replaced Curtis Ujah after 67 minutes of a 3–0 triumph over Kingstonian in the Isthmian League - Premier Division. Kiangebeni's first start arrived six days later in a league draw at home to Harrow Borough, which was followed by his first goal for the club occurring four matches later on 24 September in a 6–0 thrashing of future team Hendon. He regular featured across the full season, scoring a second goal on 8 April 2017 against Billericay Town as he ended the season with 31 total appearances; as they reached the play-offs, losing out to Dulwich Hamlet.

St Albans City
At the end of May 2017, Kiangebeni was signed by National League South team St Albans City. A win at Oxford City on 5 August saw the midfielder make his bow for *The Saints*, as he came off the bench to take the place of David Noble. After another sub showing versus Weston-super-Mare on 12 August, Kiangebeni made his first start for the club two days later as they beat Chelmsford City on the road. During his 22nd appearance, he scored his first St Albans goal in a 7–2 victory at home to East Thurrock United on 27 January 2018. Kiangebeni netted again on 2 February against Dartford, prior to notching further strikes across the next two months or so against Weston-super-Mare and Poole Town.

Concord Rangers (loan)
On 6 September 2019, Kiangebeni was loaned back to the National League South with Concord Rangers.

Hertford Town (loan)
On 15 October 2019, Isthmian League - South Central Division club Hertford Town announced the loan signing of Kiangebeni; as he agreed a move until early January 2020.

On 19 October, the midfielder made it a goalscoring league debut as he netted a stoppage time winner at Staines Town. Next time out, back in the Velocity Sports Trophy on 22 October, Kiangebeni netted twice during a 6–2 loss away to Harlow Town. After 4 appearances across the next few weeks, he scored in consecutive appearances by scoring against Ware and Northwood in mid-November. Kiangebeni was sent off during his final appearance on 14 December versus Bedfont Sports.

Hendon (loan)
On 7 January 2020, Kiangebeni joined Southern League - Premier Division South side Hendon on a one-month loan. After starting matches with Needham Market (cup), Metropolitan Police, Gosport Borough, Wimborne Town and Yate Town, the midfielder's deal with *The Greens* was extended until the season's end. He would make 5 more appearances until early March, though wouldn't participate in any more due to the division's curtailment amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Enfield Town
2020–21 saw Kiangebeni seal a return to Enfield Town. His second debut for them arrived on 19 September 2020 as they won 4–1 at home to Lewes, which was one of nine appearances he made between then and the end of October. Kiangebeni then opened September with an Isthmian League - Premier Division goal in a home victory over Brightlingsea Regent on 3 November. He featured once more for the *Towners*, though did continue to see action on a dual registration deal with Braintree Town, that season, which was - like the preceding 2019–20 - concluded early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kiangebeni subsequently, in 2021–22, reached the 50 appearance mark across the campaign, which also saw him net 5 goals.

His first strike of 2021–22 arrived on 21 August 2021 in a two-goal win over Brightlingsea Regent at the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium. The other four were scored consecutively, after a 5 October goal against Kingstonian was quickly followed up with strikes versus Leatherhead (on 9 October), Wingate & Finchley (on 12 October) and Worthing (on 16 October). In the reverse fixture with the latter on 26 February 2022, Kiangebeni received a red card with 12 minutes left of a 3–0 away defeat. The midfielder's departure was later confirmed on 1 July.

Braintree Town (dual)
On 8 December 2020, Braintree Town struck a dual registration deal with Enfield Town for Kiangebeni. He made his return to the National League South on the day of his arrival, as he came off the substitute's bench late on in stoppage time for Correy Davidson during a home draw versus Welling United. After featuring further against Billericay Town and Chelmsford City, Kiangebeni scored in a 2–1 victory over Dartford on 9 January 2021 at Cressing Road. His final appearance came on 12 January versus Oxford City.

### HTU

2022–23
On 1 July 2022, Kiangebeni was revealed as a new signing by Isthmian League - North Division outfit HTU. After making his unofficial bow in a pre-season friendly on 2 July against Peacehaven & Telscombe, the midfielder scored his first goal for *The Tags* in his second appearance from the penalty spot as HTU won an exhibition encounter with Walthamstow on 11 July. After 5 more pre-season showings, Kiangebeni's competitive debut arrived on 13 August as the club lost their league opener at Bury Town - and his first official appearance was short-lived, after he was sent off after 41 minutes. He closed the year of 2022 with 26 total appearances, as all bar two were as a starter under manager Jay Devereux.

Kiangebeni opened 2023 with his first competitive HTU goals, as the midfielder notched a brace in a 4-0 win at Witham Town on 2 January. Another double followed to end the month, as he claimed two goals in a 3–2 road victory versus Wroxham.

2023–24
Having been announced as retained weeks prior on 29 June 2023, Kiangebeni notched his 6th and 7th HTU goals in pre-season friendlies with Redbridge on 11 July and Worthing on 22 July. On matchday 2 of the competitive season in the Isthmian League - Premier Division, the midfielder notched 2 assists (for Sam Cornish and Misha Djemaili) in a 4–1 win at Concord Rangers. On 23 September, Kiangebeni was sent off at home to Wingate & Finchley. A 6–3 league loss on 28 October at Enfield Town saw the midfielder net his 8th HTU goal. Additional goals came for him on 11 November away to Horsham, on 2 December at home to Canvey Island and on 18 December on home turf to Brightlingsea Regent (cup).

## Personal Life

Kiangebeni has appeared on episodes of YouTube show Filthy Fellas. He has noted that Michael Owen influenced his career most.

Court case
In February 2020, Kiangebeni was charged with criminal damage after smashing a glass door at a student union club at the University of Essex. He had mistakenly left his car keys inside after closure, though hit the door out of frustration after door staff refused him entry to retrieve the keys. Having immediately offered to pay for the damages, he was initially given a conditional caution for the incident. However, after failing to pay, he was summoned to Colchester Magistrates’ Court - where he admitted his charge.

The event, according to local paper *The Gazette*, was likely to see him sacked by club Colchester United - who had already removed him from the accommodation that they had previously provided, which forced him to move back home with his parents. The court ordered him to pay £695 in compensation and £105 in costs to the university.
