He made 20 appearances for Lausanne in the 2009–10, scoring five goals, and spent six month on loan with Bulle of Switzerland's third-tier 1. Liga between January and June 2010.
Mobulu moved to Canada in the summer of 2010 to join the Vancouver Whitecaps,[2] initially as a member of the team's PDL affiliate Vancouver Whitecaps Residency. He made his full Whitecaps debut on 28 July, coming on as a second-half substitute for Blake Wagner during a 1–0 away win over Montreal Impact,[3] and scored his first Whitecaps goal during a 2–2 home draw versus Austin Aztex on 29 August.[4]

Though born and raised in Switzerland, Mobulu is a citizen of DR Congo through his parents, Ngia Jose Nzobo and Florent Kashama Mobulu.
