Club career

Born in Warri on 4 February 1992, Kpenosen began his career at Becamex Binh Duong (BBD), where he was unable to establish himself, so he was demoted to TDC Bình Dương, from which he joined Dong Thap. ^{[1] [2]} After netting a brace in a 3–0 win over Quang Nam in the sixth matchday of the 2015 V.League 1 on 30 January, Kpenosen temporarily became the league's joint top scorer with 5 goals. ^{[3] [4]} At the end of the season, he was nominated to The Best Foreign Player. ^[5]

In January 2016, Dong Thap extended his contract for one year with 26.000 USD. ^{[6] [7]} In March 2016, he scored in stoppage time to seal a 2–1 win over Hoang Anh Gia Lai. ^[8]

However, during the season, he left the club in September to join Hai Phong FC. ^[9] Unable to retain his place in Haiphong FC since they filled their foreign player slots with new transfers, the club was predisposed to send him on loan. ^{[10] [11]}
