Career edit

Kenya edit

Loaned to Kenyan club Rangers from Gor Mahia in 2012,[6] Ngwa was debarred from playing in a 0–2 loss to Sofapaka during his stay there;[7] following his loan spell, the Cameroonian intentionally cancelled his contract with Gor Mahia after one of their officials censured his decision to line up against his parent club, which, according to FIFA rules, is not allowed.[8]

He took part in the 2012 CAF Champions League with Gor Mahia after returning from Tunisian club JS Kairouan.[9]

Cambodia edit

A trialist for Phnom Penh Crown of the Cambodian League in 2014, Ngwa suffered a hamstring injury after trying out for Vietnamese team Than Quang Ninh at the start of the year.[10] Next, he transferred to another Cambodian team, Asia Euro United, for the rest of the 2014 season where he put in a number of solid performances, including a hat-trick facing National Police that same year.[11] This was succeeded by a move to Nagaworld FC in 2015,[4] where he stayed until returning to Asia Euro United, authoring a brace in a 2–0 win over former club Phnom Penh Crown.[12]

During his stay in Phnom Penh Crown, the striker netted three goals within 20 minutes in a friendly opposing Albirex Niigata Phnom Penh.[13]
