Career

Massanka was born in Tottenham, London, and moved to Manchester aged four, as his parents relocated with their work as pastors.[3] He was signed by Manchester United after being scouted, and spent six years with the club before a short stint with rivals Manchester City.[3] He joined Burnley in the summer of 2013, before signing a professional contract with the club on 15 April 2015.[4] Having started the 2015–16 season with 16 goals from 14 starts for the under-21 team, Massanka signed a new contract with Burnley on 23 December 2015.[5] He joined League Two club York City, on loan for the rest of 2015–16 on 12 January 2016,[6] making his debut four days later as a 56th-minute substitute in a 1–0 home defeat to Newport County.[7] Having made only three appearances for York, Massanka was recalled by Burnley on 11 March 2016.[8]

On 31 August 2016, Massanka joined League Two club Morecambe on loan until 3 January 2017.[9] In January 2017, he returned to Burnley, having failed to make an impact at the club with all 10 of his appearances coming from the bench.[10][11]

He returned to Wrexham for a second time in July 2017, signing on an initial six-month loan deal.[15] He scored two goals in 26 appearances[16] before returning to Burnley in January 2018.[17] He was loaned out to Dover Athletic on 30 August 2018.[18]
