Born in Bertoua, Enguene came to FC Barcelona in 2007, through the Samuel Eto'o Foundation at the age of 11.[1] In 2011, he scored 13 goals for the Cadete A team, also acting as the side's captain.[2]

After finishing his graduation, Enguene was promoted to the reserves in July 2015, after the club's relegation to Segunda División B.[3] He made his senior debut 22 August of that year, replacing Sergi Samper for the final 13 minutes of a 1–2 loss at UE Cornellà.[4]

Enguene contributed with 12 appearances (only two starts, however) during the campaign before departing in January 2016.

Antalyaspor

On 19 January 2016 Enguene joined Antalyaspor in the Turkish Süper Lig.[5] He made his professional debut five days later, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Gençlerbirliği.[6]

Lugo

On 31 August 2016, Enguene signed a three-year deal with Segunda División club CD Lugo.[7] After making no appearances, he was loaned to Leixões S.C. the following 31 January.[8]

In the summer 2019, Enguene moved to Kuwaiti club Kazma SC.[9] However, on 11 November 2019, it was announced that he had signed with Georgian club FC Telavi.[10]
