Lilian Njoh

He came through a string of regional clubs around the city — Pôle Espoirs de Castelmaurou, US Albi, AS Muret, Union Saint-Jean and finally US Colomiers — rather than a big-name academy, and it was at Colomiers that he made his senior debut in National 2, playing nine matches in the 2021–2022 season.

A move to Le Mans FC the following summer brought his first professional contract. Over two seasons he split his time between the first team and the reserves, making 29 senior league appearances without scoring, before leaving as a free agent in the summer of 2024. Serie B side US Salernitana picked him up on a free transfer, and he made 26 league appearances in Italy, with two assists credited to him by the club before his departure a year later.

Servette FC paid €50,000 for him in July 2025, with a resale percentage attached, and tied him to a contract through June 2027. Njoh established himself as a regular starter in the Swiss Super League, making 37 league appearances in his first season, scoring once and setting up nine goals, and he added a goal in Conference League qualifying as well. He has continued in the side into the following campaign.

Born to a Cameroonian father and a French mother, Njoh holds dual citizenship, and Cameroon's coach David Pagou called him into the senior squad for Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, though he has yet to win a first cap for either country he could represent.
