Joël Dieudonné Martin Epalle Newaka (born February 20, 1978 in Matomb ) is a former Cameroonian football player .

Career

The offensive man played in Greece from the beginning of his professional career until 2007 and has a Greek passport as a result. His first club was Ethnikos Asteras , where he was active from 1998 to 2000. Then Epalle moved to Panachaiki and after a year on to Aris Thessaloniki . In 2003 he was signed by the Greek first division club Panathinaikos Athens , with whom he won the Greek championship in 2004 and the cup and thus the double. In 2005 he moved to Iraklis Thessaloniki . During his entire time in Greece, he made 203 appearances and scored 28 goals.

For the second half of the 2006/07 season, Epalle moved to VfL Bochum and scored four goals in his first 17 games for VfL. In the summer of 2010, Winfried Schäfer , under whom he had already played in the Cameroon national soccer team , brought him to the two-time Azerbaijani champions FK Baku . Epalle signed a one-year contract in Baku. In his first competitive game for FK Baku, he was set up in the first leg of the second qualifying round for the Europa League in front of a home crowd against FK Budućnost Podgorica , although he was not yet eligible to play because the club had missed a registration deadline. As a result, what Baku won 2-1 was counted as a 3-0 defeat. FK Baku won the second leg - without the now suspended Epalle - 2-1 and was eliminated from the competition. The incident ultimately led coach Schäfer to leave the club in January 2011.

Immediately after Schäfer's departure from Baku, Epalle moved back to Greece on January 18, 2011, and by December 2011 had 22 missions for Iraklis Thessaloniki. In February 2012 he left Europe and returned to Cameroon, where he has been under contract with Cotonsport Garoua ever since . In April 2012, Epalle moved to the Sarawak FA in Malaysia and ended his career in early 2014.

Joël Epalle completed 38 games for the Cameroonian national team , in which he scored five times. He participated in the 2000 Olympic Games and the 2002 World Cup.
