Club career

[edit]

Chenkam began his career in Cameroon, playing with Union Douala and Rainbow Bamenda, before signing with Seattle Sounders FC 2 in the United Soccer League in March 2017.[1][2]

Chenkam made his Sounders 2 debut on 26 March 2017, coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute of the season opening 2–1 loss to Sacramento.[3] Chenkam's first start and first goal with S2 both came on 15 April 2017 in a 2–1 win over Los Angeles.[4][5]

Chenkam's contract option was declined by Seattle on 19 November 2018.[6] In October 2019, Chenkam returned to Union Douala.[citation needed]

In 2020, Chenkam joined Salerm Puente Genil on a free transfer.[citation needed] He then joined Viveiro CF in January 2022.[citation needed]

He left Spain just six months later to join amateur Belgian side RAS Monceau.[citation needed]

On July 15, 2023, he joined Belgian third-tier side Union Namur.[citation needed]

International career

[edit]

Chenkam was selected to represent the Cameroon U20s at the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Zambia after helping them qualify by scoring a goal in a 3–0 win over Libya on 10 July 2016.[7][8] Chenkam made 3 substitute appearances at the tournament, as Cameroon was knocked out of the tournament at the group stage.[9]
