Jardell Kanga, born on 13 December 2005 (age 20), is a Swedish left winger now with Motherwell. Small-framed at 5ft 6in (1.68m), he is the sort of wide player whose game is built around mobility rather than presence.
His senior career so far is shaped mainly by his spell at Ilves. Across two league seasons there, he made 47 appearances and scored 15 goals, with his best return coming in 2026: 10 goals in 20 league matches. That is the body of work that gives his profile most of its substance.
At Motherwell, where he wears number 13, Kanga has made 11 league appearances and scored one league goal in 2026-27. He has also played five times in Conference League qualifying, scoring once, taking his Motherwell total to 16 appearances and two goals in all competitions.
Kanga is still early in his career, but the outline is clear enough: a productive spell at Ilves, followed by a move into Scottish football with Motherwell.
