Early career

[edit]

Mbeng was born in Condé-sur-l'Escaut, France and came through the Lille and Guingamp youth academies,[1][2] before moving to Charleroi in July 2021, playing with their reserve side Zébra Élites Charleroi in the Belgian Division 1 for 2 seasons, scoring 2 goals in 36 appearances.[3] In July 2024, he went on trial with EFL League One club Barnsley[4] and featured in a 3–1 win over Alfreton Town in a pre-season friendly,[5] but the trial did not result in a contract with the club.

Cork City

[edit]

On 27 January 2025, Mbeng signed for newly promoted League of Ireland Premier Division club Cork City on a one-year-contract after a successful trial at the club, following an unsuccessful trial at EFL League One club Barnsley.[6][7][8][9][10] He made his debut for the club on 3 March 2025, replacing Malik Dijksteel from the bench in a 2–1 loss away to Waterford at the RSC.[11]

Shelbourne

[edit]

On 28 July 2025, Mbeng signed for fellow League of Ireland Premier Division club Shelbourne on a multi-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[12]
