Club career
Enoh's football career began in the youth ranks of local club Little Foot FC in Tiko, where he played for five seasons. Enoh was spotted by Mount Cameroon while playing for Little Foot in the 2001 Mini-Interpools and was recruited to the Buea squad the same year, making him the top flight of football in his homeland.
