Bil Dornol Nsongo Tonfack (born 21 September 2004) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Deportivo de A Coruña.
Club career
[edit]Born in Yaoundé, Nsongo played for Académie Nationale de Football (ANAFOOT) before making his senior debut with AS Lausanne de Yaoundé in the Elite Two, scoring nine goals in just 12 matches.[1] After attracting interest from Turkish clubs and trials at Enyimba FC[2] and Amiens SC,[3] he signed for Canon Yaoundé in January 2024.[4]
On 16 August 2024, Nsongo moved abroad and joined Spanish club Deportivo de La Coruña on a one-year deal, being initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda Federación.[5] After an inconsistent first season, he was initially set for release, but after expressing his desire to stay, the club activated the one-year extension on his contract.[6]
Nsongo made his first team debut with Dépor on 4 December 2025, coming on as a second-half substitute for Zakaria Eddahchouri in a 2–0 away win over CE Sabadell FC, for the campaign's Copa del Rey.[7] He made his professional debut twelve days later, replacing Cristian Herrera in a 1–0 home success over RCD Mallorca, also for the national cup.[8]
Nsongo scored his first professional goal on 1 March 2026, netting the equalizer in a 3–2 away win over Real Sociedad B.[9] He subsequently established himself as a starter for Deportivo,[10] and scored a brace in a 2–0 away win over Real Valladolid which ensured the club's promotion to La Liga on 24 May.[11]
On 12 June 2026, Nsongo renewed his link with the club – now named Deportivo de A Coruña – until 2030, being a permanent member of the main squad.[12] He made his top tier debut on 17 August, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Elche CF.[13]
International career
[edit]In June 2023, Nsongo was called up to the Cameroon national under-20 team for the 2023 Jeux de la Francophonie.[14]
