Career

Born in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, Simon Ebonog arrived in France not long after his birth, starting to play football at Paris Saint-Germain as an under-7. After spending five years in the academy, he went through the INF Clairefontaine before joining Le Havre academy in 2016. [2] [3]

He played with the under-19s during the 2021–22 season, during which he was part of the team that beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe Gambardella. [4] [5] [6] [7]

Ebonog signed his first professional contract with the club on the summer 2022. [2] [8] He was then part of a very youthful first team squad under Luka Elsner—including the likes of Steve Ngoura, Élysée Logbo, Yoni Gomis and Antoine Joujou—, that would eventually play for the top Ligue 2 spot. [9]

Ebonog made his professional debut for Le Havre on the 29 April 2023, replacing Oussama Targhalline in a 2–1 away Ligue 2 win to Caen, the first time the Norman conceded a home loss in 12 matches. [10] [11]
