[edit] Career

[edit] Club

Mandjou began his professional career in Malaysia with Perak FA, making his debut on September 12, 2004 against PKNS FC. He impressed Perak's fans so much that he was carried off the pitch by two jubilant fans after the match ^[1] He went on to play a key role in Perak's Malaysian FA Cup winning team, which led to his contract being renewed for the 2005 season.

Mandjou won the Golden Boot award for the 2006 season, scoring 17 goals. He was one of the three nominees for the Favourite Import Player award in the inaugural Malaysian football awards but he did not win.^[2].

He was linked with a move away from the club to Indonesian team Persija Jakarta in 2007, ^[3] but did not let those rumours affect his on-pitch performance, and ended up Perak's top scorer once again for the 2006/2007 season.

Mandjou was released from his contract at the end of the 2007 season due to "family issues", and after attending trials with French side FC Lorient.^[4] signed with Bruneian side Brunei DPMM FC, and played one season for them in the Singaporean S. League.

In January 2009, Mandjou signed with the Portland Timbers in the USL First Division.^[5] Mandjou's preferred playing position is as a striker, but he can also operate in midfield behind the front two.

Following the 2009 USL1 season, Portland loaned Keita to Salgaocar SC Goa of the Indian I-League.
