Early life
Muzie was born in Israel, to a Congolese father, and a South African mother named Maureen.[1] Raised by his mother, he had a bar mitzvah. At the age of eighteen, he obtained Israeli citizenship.[2]
Club career
As a youth player, Muzie joined the youth academy of Maccabi Haifa. Israeli newspaper Maariv wrote in 2021 that he "was not really part of Maccabi Haifa's rotation and the club preferred that he move to another team and accumulate minutes" while playing for the club.[3]
In 2021, he was sent on loan to Hapoel Kfar Saba, before being sent on loan to Hapoel Nof HaGalil the same year. One year later, he was sent on loan to Ironi Kiryat Shmona. Subsequently, he signed for Beitar Jerusalem in 2023.[4]
