Early and personal life

Noukeu was born in Douala, Cameroon, and grew up in Belgium and France. Noukeu holds both Belgian and French citizenship.[3][4] He is the son of former professional footballer Patrice Noukeu and his mother was a handball player.[5][6]

Club career

Stoke City

Noukeu played youth football for Royal Excel Mouscron from under-8 to under-10 level and returned to their academy aged 13.[6] In July 2019, he signed for English side Stoke City, initially joining their under-23 team.[7] In February 2021, he signed a longer-term contract with the club.[8] He joined Crawley Town on a season-long loan on 16 July 2021.[9] He made his professional debut on 10 August 2021 in a EFL Cup match against Gillingham.[10] He was recalled by Stoke on 1 January 2022 after making three cup appearances for Crawley.[11]

On 24 September 2022, Noukeu joined Southend United on loan until January 2023,[12] later extended by a further month to the end of February 2023.[13] He was recalled by Stoke in March 2023.[14] He was released by Stoke at the end of the 2023–24 season.[15]

Sunderland

Following a successful trial, Noukeu signed a two-year contract with Sunderland on 2 August 2024.[16] Having failed to break into the first-team picture, he was linked with loan moves to Belgian club STVV and English League One side Port Vale in November 2025.[17]

Boulogne

Noukeu joined Ligue 2 side Boulogne in January 2026.[18][19]

International career

Having previously been called-up to the Cameroon under-23 team, he was called up to the senior Cameroon squad for the first time in September 2020.[4][20]
