March 22, 2023 – United Soccer League One (USL1) – Charlotte Independence News Release
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte Independence announced today the signing of left back Fabrice Ngah ahead of the 2023 season. Ngah joins the Jacks after playing with Canon Yaoundé in the top flight of Cameroonian soccer.
“Fabrice ticks all the boxes we wanted in a left back – athletic, strong, defensive qualities combined with quality play out of the back and the ability to make plays in the final third,” Charlotte Independence Head Coach Mike Jeffries said. “We barely missed out on bringing him to Charlotte several years ago. Since then we have seen him develop into an international with Cameroon.”
Before Ngah’s time with Canon Yaoundé, he played with Egyptian side Cleopatra FC in the Egyptian Premier League. He made 12 appearances with Cleopatra from 2020-2021.
Ngah spent the majority of his professional career with Raja Club Athletic in the Moroccan top flight, Botola. He made a combined 53 appearances across three seasons from 2018-2020. He scored two goals and earned two assists with Raja club Athletic.
Ngah started his time in Morocco with Difaâ El Jadida in 2017 before he left in 2018. He made 30 appearances and earned one goal with four assists.
Ngah received his first call up to the Cameroonian National Team in 2014 and has since appeared in four games. He last appeared for the national team in 2021 as a starter against Cape Verde in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. He started his professional career in Cameroon with Les Astres FC in 2013.
“I am very happy to return to Charlotte because it is not the first time,” Ngah said. “I was already there, but it didn’t work out. This time it’s the right move, and I’m already excited to be with my new family.”
The Charlotte Independence continue the 2023 USL League One season against South Georgia Tormenta FC on Saturday, March 25 at 7:30 P.M. Fans can watch for free at bahakelentertainment.com/sports.
