19-year-old Cameroonian international midfielder, Wilfried Nathan Douala, has put pen to paper on a one-year deal with footballing giants Canon Sportif de Yaound.
The dynamic engine room operator, formerly of Victoria United, joins the Kpa-Kum as a free agent after a brief stint in the Elite One championship last season and a period unattached.
The deal, officially announced on Monday, July 7, 2025, sees Douala secure a signing bonus of 3 million FCFA. This marquee signing is a clear statement of intent from Canon Sportif, signaling their ambition to bolster their ranks and push for top honors in the upcoming campaign.
For Douala, this transfer is a dream come true. Canon Sportif is a colossal team in Cameroon, a club Ive admired since childhood, he stated. Its my pleasure to come and continue my career here. Im not afraid of the pressure the expectations are sky-high, but Ill give my all to rise to the occasion. I call on the fans to fill the stadium massively ,together, were aiming to lift the trophy! He explained
The young midfielder had been sidelined for a significant portion of the first half of the year, initially due to injury reports. Despite his absence, particularly in the championships return leg, the U20 captain proved his class earlier in the season. He was repeatedly on the scoresheet, bagging over five goals and delivering crucial assists, helping Victoria United rack up vital early-season wins. His contract with Opopo is understood to have expired in June, paving the way for this pivotal move.
