Club career edit
Born in Yaoundé, Omgba joined Torrellano Illice CF's youth setup in 2009 at the age of 16, after representing APEJES Academy,[1][2] and made his debuts as a senior in the following year, in Tercera División. On 31 August 2011, after making the whole pre-season with Elche CF,[3] he signed a contract with Huracán Valencia CF in Segunda División B.[4]
On 30 December 2011 Omgba was transferred to Segunda División side Girona FC.[5][6] However, he could not play for the Catalans after having bureaucratic problems, and was released in June of the following year.[7]
On 18 July 2012 Omgba returned to the Franjiverdes, being assigned to the reserves in the fourth level.[8] He was an undisputed starter during his two-year spell at the club, achieving promotion to the third tier in his first campaign.
On 17 July 2014 Omgba signed a one-year deal with Real Oviedo, also in the third division.[9] He scored a career-best seven goals during the season, as his side returned to Segunda División after a 12-year absence; one of his goals, the first in a 3–2 away win against UD Somozas, was the club's 5000th.[10]
Omgba made his professional debut on 13 September 2015, starting in a 2–0 away win against CD Tenerife.[11]
