Club career

edit

Baning played for Swiss side FC Aarau before joining his former club Paris Saint-Germain in July 2006. [1]

His transfer was largely engineered by new team president Alain Cayzac. PSG's coach, Guy Lacombe, has admitted to never actually having seen him play. [2][permanent dead link]

He joined the club RC Strasbourg, 26 January 2010 as a loan.

On 27 June Baning signed a one-year contract with the famous Israeli club of Maccabi Tel Aviv.[1] On 1 Sep 2010 Maccabi announced that Baning is released[2] from his contract due to mutual consent following an injury he is suffering from.

In early 2014, Baning joined French club Sedan.[3]

International career

True to his name, Baning was sent off twice in three games for Cameroon at the 2008 Beijing Olympics..
