Calvin Zola Makongo (born December 31, 1984 in Kinshasa), often known simply as Calvin Zola, is a football (soccer) player from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He currently plays in England for Tranmere Rovers F.C. Zola began his career at Newcastle United. After a spell with Oldham Athletic, he was released on a free transfer to Tranmere Rovers, in 2005/2006 season he scored 4 goals for the Tranmere in his first season. Some months after arriving at Prenton Park, problems were discovered with his visa and Zola was unable to work (ie play) until a solution was reached. In May 2005 he was granted a full permit and returned in time for training for the 2005/2006 season. In 2006/07 Zola signed a two year extension to his contract (which would have expired at the end of the 2006/07 season), keeping him at Tranmere until May 2009.
