Jean Paul Yontcha (born 15 May 1983) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays for Portuguese club U.D. Leiria as a striker.
Club career
Born in Yaoundé, Yontcha started his career with Tiko United. In 2002 he signed for CA Bordj Bou Arréridj in Algeria, going on to remain five seasons with the team.
In 2006 Yontcha joined Qatar's Sadd Sports Club, winning an unprecedented (in national football history) quadruple in his first season. Two years later he moved to Europe, penning a deal with Romanian side CS Otopeni and appearing sparingly during the campaign as the club finished in 17th position, with the subsequent Liga I relegation.
Yontcha spent the following seasons in Portugal, starting with C.F. Os Belenenses in 2009–10, again being relegated from top level football after his team ranked second from the bottom. His first game in the first division occurred on 14 August 2009, when he featured the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 away draw against Leixões SC.
In the 2010 summer Yontcha signed for two years with S.C. Olhanense, scoring three goals in 19 games in his debut season – nine starts, 842 minutes played – as the Algarve club retained its top level status.
International career
In November 2012, aged 29, Yontcha was called up to the Cameroonian national team for the first time in his career.[1] He made his debut on the 14th, appearing in a friendly with Albania.
