Career[edit]
Minoungou was signed by Croatian side MFK Vyskov in 2021, and was loaned to American MLS Next Pro side Tacoma Defiance. He was signed to Defiance for the 2023 season for a transfer fee estimated between $250,000 - $500,000.[2] In 2023 he traveled with senior MLS side Seattle Sounders FC for their practice in Marbella, Spain ahead of the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup, scoring a goal in a friendly against Swedish side Hammarby IF.[3]
2024 saw multiple callups to the Sounders both for their US Open Cup run and league play. He tallied an assist against Louisville City FC in the Sounder's penalty kick-decided win. He made his MLS league debut with the Sounders against LA Galaxy on May 5, 2024.[4]
Minoungou has stood out among second team callups for his speed on the wing, his ability to control the ball in 1-v-1 attacks, and his willingness to attack the goal.[5]
