Jay Ifeanyi-Junior Tyron Enem (born 11 March 2003) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serbian SuperLiga club Red Star Belgrade on loan from OFK Beograd.
Enem spent his formative years at AFC, AZ Alkmaar and Ajax.[ citation needed ] Having come through the youth ranks at the latter club, he made his debut for Jong Ajax on 11 March 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 3-3 Eerste Divisie draw against FC Dordrecht. [2] [3] During the 2021-22 season, he also became the top scorer for Ajax's under-18 team. [4] In the summer of 2022, the striker featured for Ajax's senior team in several pre-season friendly matches, scoring against NK Lokomotiva Zagreb. [5] [6]
On 18 August 2022, Enem joined Serie B club Venezia on a permanent deal, signing a two-year contract, with an option for another season; he was initially registered for the under-19 team. [7] [8] He made his first-team debut for Venezia on 21 January 2023, coming on as a substitute in the final minutes of a 0-1 league loss to Südtirol. [9] [10]
On 31 January of the same year, Enem joined Serie C side Vis Pesaro on loan until the end of the season. [11] [12] [13] He was part of the team that managed to stay in the third tier without taking part in play-outs, following Imolese's point deduction and consequent relegation. [14] [15]
On 16 September 2023, Enem was sent on loan to Cypriot side Ethnikos Achna until the end of the season. [16] [17] On 10 September 2024, he moved on a new loan in Cyprus, this time with PAC Omonia 29M. [18]
