Club career

[edit]

Bethlehem Steel

[edit]

Moumbagna spent time with the Florida-based Montverde Academy before signing with United Soccer League side Bethlehem Steel. He joined the club permanently on 16 July 2018.[1] Moumbagna would establish himself as a goalscoring threat for Steel FC during the 2019 season, scoring 11 goals; breaking the team single-season record (10) previously held by Seku Conneh.[2]

After the 2019 season, it was announced that Moumbagna was out of contract and would become a free agent.[3] He made 38 appearances and scored 14 goals for Steel FC.

Kristiansund

[edit]

In May 2020, Moumbagna signed a three-year contract Kristiansund BK competing in Eliteserien, the highest division of Norwegian football.[4] He made his competitive debut on 21 June, coming on as a late substitute for Sondre Sørli in a 7–2 league victory against Aalesunds FK.[5] His first goal, coincidentally, also came against Aalesund. In a 2–1 away win in the league, Moumbagna headed home a cross from Liridon Kalludra to secure the equaliser, before Kalludra himself scored the winner.[6] FMoumbagnaaris made a total of 24 appearances for Kristiansunds BK in the 2020 season; all in the league, as he scored four goals.[7]

SønderjyskE

[edit]

On 26 August 2021, he joined SønderjyskE on loan.[8] Making his full debut for the club in the third round of the Danish Cup on 23 September, Moumbagna scored his first goal in a 4–3 away win over B 1913.[9] His league debut followed four days later, coming off the bench to replace Emil Kornvig in the 82nd minute of a 1–0 loss to AGF.[10]

Bodø/Glimt

[edit]

On 12 January 2023, Moumbagna joined Bodø/Glimt on a four-year contract.[11]

Marseille

[edit]

On 20 January 2024, Moumbagna signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Ligue 1 club Marseille, for a reported transfer fee of €8 million.[12][13]

International career

[edit]

On November 17, 2023, Moumbagna made his debut with Cameroon in a match against Mauritius for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, playing 70 minutes.[14]

On 28 December 2023, he was selected in the list of twenty-seven Cameroonian players selected by Rigobert Song to compete in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.[15]

Personal life

[edit]

In the early morning of 20 May 2024, Moumbagna and OM teammate Jean Onana were the victims of an armed robbery attempt while they were in their cars as they were leaving La Commanderie. Although neither were injured, two bullet holes were found on the driver's door on one of the vehicles.[16]
