An Israeli midfielder who returned from the United States at the age of 29 during the January 2024 transfer window.
Kinda was born in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and immigrated to Israel with his parents at the age of three, settling in Ashdod. There, he took his first steps in the youth department of S.C. Ashdod. In a twist of fate, in the final match of the Avi Ran Youth Cup, he led his team to victory over... Maccabi Haifa by scoring the last penalty after extra time.
The same happened when he played for the seniors, scoring his debut goal for Ashdod against the "Greens" in September 2013. During the February 2019 transfer window, he was sold to Beitar Jerusalem, where he won the Toto Cup and was sold a year later for a high sum to Sporting Kansas City of the North American MLS, where he made 74 appearances and scored 15 goals.
Kinda was previously part of the youth national team, the under-21 national team, and also included in the senior national team of Israel.
