Emmanuel Longelo, born on 27 December 2000 (age 25), is an English left-back with Motherwell. He is 6ft (1.84m), 12st 2lb (77kg), and wears squad number 45. His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is still defined most clearly by Birmingham City. Across two seasons there, Longelo made 40 league appearances and scored once, enough to make that spell the main body of his senior record rather than a passing stop. It gave him regular football at a level where left-backs are not usually afforded much patience for learning on the job.
At Motherwell, he has remained a first-team presence in 2025 - 2026. His 32 league appearances and eight goals make it the most productive league season of his career so far, a notable return for a player primarily listed as a left-back.
Longelo’s career to date is that of an established professional still building his record: Birmingham City provides the defining spell, while Motherwell has given him regular football and his strongest attacking numbers.
