Career

Zakuani began his career in 2000 in the Leyton Orient youth team . In 2002 he joined the first team, which he was part of until 2006.

The first stop on the loan was Stoke City , to which he moved in 2007. In the first season at Stoke, the club was able to rise to the Premier League with Zakuani , but he was then loaned to Peterborough United . In the 2008/09 season Zakuani was under contract with Peterborough United, here too a promotion could be fixed, this time from Football League One to the Championship (2nd division).
