He scored 7 goals and made 5 assists in 25 Eerste Divisie appearances in the 2019–20 season,[4] which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic and which was his first full season.

On 31 August 2021, he was loaned to Heerenveen.[8]

On 29 August 2022, he joined Metz on loan with an option to buy.[9] On 4 January 2023, Musaba returned to NEC on loan.[10]
