Club career

Ekeng began his football career in 2006 with hometown club Canon Yaoundé where he rose through the youth ranks and also featured for the first team before moving to France to join Le Mans FC in 2009. While at the club Ekeng went on loan during the second half of the 2010-11 season, playing for then third-tier side Rodez AF.
