Club career

As a youth Enosa played for Sebele Young Shooters FC before joining Eleven Angels FC at age ten. [1] [2] Despite interest from higher-profile clubs, he decided to remain with Eleven Angels following the club's promotion to the Botswana Premier League following the 2021–22 season, a promotion in which he played a key role. [3] [4] In August 2022, he signed a new contract with the club for two years. [5] At age seventeen he went on to become Angels Eleven FC's youngest first-team scorer. [1]

Earlier in 2022, Enosa was tied as the top scorer in the 2022 Botswana FA Cup with five goals, along with Thato Ogopotse. [6] [7] Both players won a P25,000 cash prize. [8]

In January 2023, it was announced that Enosa had traveled to Europe for the month for trials with clubs from Denmark, Sweden, and Belgium. [9] [10] After returning to Eleven Angels and appearing in a league fixture at the end of the month, Enosa was expected to sign for a European club "anytime soon" after impressing in Denmark. [11] In total Enosa made eleven league appearances, scoring three goals in his debut season in the top flight. [12]

Despite rumors of an imminent move to Europe, it was announced on 2 February 2023 that Elven Angels FC had reached a transfer agreement for Enosa with fellow-Botswana Premier League club Masitaoka FC. He immediately signed a two-year contract with the club. [12]

International career

Enosa was named to Botswana's squad for the 2020 COSAFA Under-17 Championship in November 2020. [13] He represented Botswana at the youth level again at the 2022 COSAFA U-20 Cup and was named Player of the Match for his performance against Zambia in the final match of the Group Stage. [14] In total he made three appearances in the tournament. [15]

In summer 2022, Enosa was called up for the first time by senior national team manager Mogomotsi Mpote for the 2022 COSAFA Cup at age eighteen. [16] [17] He went on to make his senior international debut on 5 July 2022 in a Botswana's opening victory over the Seychelles. [18] [19]
