On 30 January 2018, just a week after concluding his participation with Equatorial Guinea at the 2018 African Nations Championship, he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Macedonian club FK Shkupi.[1][2]

In September 2021, he moved to Norwegian club Start, on loan from Westerlo. In November 2021, he joined Start permanently, signing a contract until summer 2024.[3]

International career

He made his debut for the Equatorial Guinea national team on 4 September 2016 in a match against South Sudan. The game, which ended in a decisive 4–0 victory, was part of the qualification campaign for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.[4]

At the beginning of 2018, he took part in the African Nations Championship held in Morocco. He played three matches during the tournament, all of which ended in defeat.

In early 2022, he was selected by coach Juan Micha to participate in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations held in Cameroon. During the competition, he was a regular starter and played every match for his team. Equatorial Guinea was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Senegal.

In December 2023, he was included in the list of twenty-seven Equatorial Guinean players selected to compete in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
