Serge Patrick Njoh Soko (born 31 October 1997) is a Cameroonian footballer who plays as a winger for Segunda División club UD Almería and the Cameroon national team.[1]
Club career
[edit]Soko played for local sides Union Douala and Astres FC before making his senior debut with Dominican side Cibao FC in 2016. In the following year, he joined Liga MX side Atlas.
In 2018, Soko moved to Atlante in the Ascenso MX. He signed for Mineros de Zacatecas in 2020, before joining Spanish Segunda División B side Racing de Santander on 23 September of that year.[2]
Soko was a regular starter for the Verdiblancos, helping the side to win the 2021–22 Primera División RFEF. On 10 June 2022, he agreed to a two-year deal with SD Huesca in the Segunda División.[3]
