Matondo was born in Kinshasa, DR Congo. He moved to France in 2009,[2] soon joining the academy of Rennes after initially playing for nearby club AS Chantepie.[1] He made his way through Rennes's youth ranks, eventually playing for the club's reserve side starting in 2017.

In 2021, Matondo joined Swiss club Sion on a four-year contract.

On 24 June 2023, Matondo signed for Ligue 2 club Concarneau on a two-year deal.[5][6] He made his debut in a 0–0 draw against Bastia on 5 August 2023.[7]

On 5 September 2024, Matondo signed for Slovenian PrvaLiga club Koper.[8]
