Anat Roméo Cédric Ngamukol (born 15 January 1988) is a former professional footballer who played as a forward. Born in France, he received call-ups to teams representing the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Equatorial Guinea.

Early life

Ngamukol was born in 1988 in Aubervilliers, in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, to a Zairean father born in Angola. He acquired French nationality on 28 July 1997, through the collective effect of his father's naturalization.[5]

Club career

Ngamukol began his career with Reims being promoted in 2007 to the French Championnat National team. After three years with Reims senior side he signed a contract with Real Zaragoza B in January 2009. On 20 August 2009, Palencia signed him on a free transfer until June 2010.[6]

Ngamukol helped Reims win the 2017–18 Ligue 2, helping promote them to the Ligue 1 for the 2018–19 season.[7]

In June 2018, he was forced to train separately, and in July he was one of three players Reims were looking to transfer.[8][9] In December he filed a complaint against the club for "harassment".[8]

On 30 January 2019, Ngamukol joined 3. Liga side Fortuna Köln.[10] He left the club at the end of the season and remained without club until February 2020, when he joined Fréjus Saint-Raphaël in the Championnat National 2.[11]

In August 2020, Ngamukol signed for Paris 13 Atletico, a team playing in the fourth tier of French football.[12]

International career

When Ngamukol played in Spain for Palencia, he was a teammate of Equatoguinean international Benjamín Zarandona, who invited him to join Equatorial Guinea team. In April 2010, he was called up by the Equatoguinean national under-20 football team for the second match against Gabon in the African Youth Championship 2011 Qualifying preliminary round.[13] Although his age was then 22, Ngamukol was selected as one of the three over-age players allowed to be included.[citation needed]

In July 2010, Ngamukol received his first call-up to the Equatorial Guinea senior team, to play a friendly match against Morocco on 11 August 2010,[14] but he did not travel to the game. Because of this, Ngamukol is still also available to be selected by the senior teams of France and DR Congo,[citation needed] and in September 2014, he was called-up by the DR Congo.[15][16]
