In January 2019, Jnohope signed for Mosta of the Maltese Premier League. [6] After waiting for four months for his work permit, he appeared in three league matches and one match in the Maltese FA Trophy for the club before the season ended and his 6-month contract expired. [7] His one 2018–19 Maltese FA Trophy appearance came in a 1–2 quarter-final defeat to Birkirkara in which Jnohope scored an own goal. [8] [9] Afterward, he had a training stint with Belgian club RAQM Mons while searching for a new club. [7]

In October 2020, Jnohope was unveiled as a new signing for U.S. Palmese 1912 of the Italian Eccellenza Calabria for the 2020–21 season.
