*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Born in Yaoundé, Messi started playing professionally with hometown clubs Tonnerre Yaoundé and Canon Yaoundé, having a spell abroad in between with Çaykur Rizespor. He featured scarcely during the 2000–01 season, as the Turkish Süper Lig team finished in ninth position.
After leaving Canon, Messi played in Belgium with K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen, but featured very rarely for the Pro League side. After a few months in Qatar he moved to Portugal, signing for S.C. Olhanense of the Segunda Liga[2] and appearing in an average of 12 games in his first two seasons.[3][4]
Messi had one of the best years as a professional in the 2008–09 campaign, scoring twice[5][6] in 27 matches – mainly as a substitute – as the Algarve club returned to the Primeira Liga after 34 years.[7] In January 2010 he left Olhanense and joined G.D. Interclube in Angola,[8] with the Luanda team winning the Girabola championship shortly after.
