He has also played for teams such as Schalke, Stoke City and Cercle Brugge. Around two-thirds of Matondo's 70 appearances for Rangers have come in the Scottish Premiership, and almost all of his eight goals have been scored in the top flight, including one against Hibernian.
Matondo also has 15 caps for Wales, most recently last year. In 2025, he scored his first international goal in a 3-1 win against Kazakhstan. Coach Reedijk commented on Matondo: "He has made an immediate impression during our time at La Manga and has shown a great attitude, great determination and desire to learn and adapt. Rabbi gives us pace, directness and a real threat in wide areas, while also bringing a positive personality to the dressing room. He has settled in very quickly and we are looking forward to working with him and seeing the impact that he can create."
