Rio Chima Ngumoha (born 29 August 2008) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left winger or attacking midfielder for club Liverpool.
In the autumn of the 2024–25 season, Ngumoha was called-up to train with the Liverpool first team squad by manager Arne Slot. He was named amongst the match day substitutes for Liverpool's EFL Cup tie against Southampton on 18 December 2024. On 11 January 2025, Ngumoha made his professional debut as a Starting lineup in Liverpool's 4–0 win against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup. He became the youngest Liverpool player to appear in the FA Cup aged 16 years, 135 days and at the same time became the youngest player to start a first-team game in the club's history, before being substituted off for Jayden Danns in the 71st-minute.
Ngumoha was included in the Liverpool squad for the July 2025 pre-season tour to Hong Kong and Japan. He featured for the club in pre-season friendlies, being praised for his performances, getting two goals and two assists across his four games. On 25 August, Ngumoha made his Premier League debut as an added-time substitute for Cody Gakpo and scored in the 10th minute of stoppage time, securing a 3–2 away win over Newcastle United and becoming the youngest goalscorer in club history. The goal also surpassed Darwin Núñez's winning goal against Nottingham Forest in March 2024 by a minute to become the club's latest game-winning goal in the Premier League. On 17 September, a month later, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 3–2 victory over Atlético Madrid, at just 17 years and 19 days old, making him the youngest Liverpool player to appear in the competition, breaking the previous record held by Trey Nyoni. A week later, on 25 September, he signed his first professional contract with Liverpool.
On 3 September 2025, Ngumoha made his England U19 debut during a 2-0 win over Ukraine at the Pinatar Arena.
