Career

edit

Onana began his career with Foudre d’Akonolinga and moved in summer 2007 to Red Star Waasland.[1] In his second season at the club, he became top goalscorer of the Belgian Second Division with 26 goals.[2] He left the club on 17 June 2009, to sign for Belgian Pro League club Sint-Truiden.[3] After two seasons with Sint-Truiden, he was loaned out twice, first to Enosis Neon Paralimni in Cyprus and then to Waasland-Beveren in Belgium, the successor team of Red Star Waasland. At Waasland-Beveren, he was part of the team that managed promotion to the Belgian Pro League during the 2011–12 season. However that same season Sint-Truiden made the opposite move as the team relegated to the Belgian Second Division and as he result, upon return from Waasland-Beveren he was allowed to leave. Onana then signed for Tubize. There, he became league top goalscorer of the Belgian Second Division in his first season with 17 goals; his second top scorer title of the division.[4] but was unable to repeat his strong performances in the following season. Onana subsequently played for Sint-Eloois-Winkel Sport, Union Saint-Gillouse, La Louvière Centre, KSV Bornem and FC Mariekerke.[5][6]

Onana's first call up for the Cameroon national football team was on 15 February 2009 for a trial camp in Paris.[7]
