Club Career
Meyong started playing in Europe still a youngster, for Italian club Ravenna Calcio. After one 1/2 seasons he moved to Portuguese first division side Vitória Futebol Clube: at Setúbal, he won the Portuguese Cup in 2005, having scored the winning goal in the final against S.L. Benfica.
In the summer of 2005 Meyong signed a two-year contract with C.F. Os Belenenses (where he was the league's top goalscorer, despite the club's bottom-four finish), but moved to Levante UD a year later. Due to late payment of salary, he was loaned to Albacete Balompié, after one appearance for Levante in 2007–08.
In January 2008 Meyong returned to Portugal and Belenenses, scoring the penalty winner against Associação Naval 1º de Maio in a 2–1 home win but, being this the third club he represented in 2007–08, which went against FIFA regulations, his registration was deemed illegal and Belenenses condemned to lose six points in the table (awarded 0–3 loss and three-point penalty in this match).
In August 2008, Meyong joined another Portuguese club, Sporting de Braga. On the 23rd he netted his first goal for his new team, in a 2–0 win at F.C. Paços de Ferreira. He added a hat-trick on 18 September, in a UEFA Cup first-round contest against Artmedia Bratislava, a 4–0 home success; midway through 2008–09 he prolonged his contract for another year, until June 2011.
In the 2009–10 season Meyong was an essential offensive figure for Braga, scoring 11 league goals as the Minho club finished in the second position, a best-ever. During the campaign, for example, he found the net against Sporting Clube de Portugal (2–1 away triumph), and also scored two late penalties against neighbours Vitória de Guimarães (3–2 home win).
In late December 2011 Meyong was released by Braga after very little playing time in his last two seasons, along with Rodrigo Galo, Marcos and Fran Mérida. After being linked to C.D. Nacional and C.D. Feirense, he eventually returned to Setúbal and Vitória, after nearly seven years.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“Mi advise tu them who are about tu begin, in arnest, the jurney ov life, is tu take their harte in one hand and a club in the other.”
—Josh Billings [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818–1885)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
