He acquired French nationality on 16 November 1999, through the collective effect connected to the reinstatement of his father in French nationality and the naturalization of his mother.[1]

Club career

Enza-Yamissi started his playing career at Bordeaux. He was there one season and did not make a first team appearance. He then signed for La Roche VF, spending one season there, playing six games. He then moved to Olympique Alès, where he played only four games, before moving to Nîmes Olympique, where his career began to take off, playing 52 games and scoring four goals.

His potential was noticed by Troyes AC, which promptly signed him in 2005, when it was in Ligue 1. He experienced several ups and downs at the club, being relegated twice, and winning promotion twice too. From 2011, he was club captain, which he led to promotion to Ligue 1 once again at the end of the 2011–12 season.

He joined Valenciennes FC in 2013 and played five seasons for the club before being released in 2018.

In February 2019 he joined Annecy FC.[2] On 28 May 2020, it was announced that his contract at Annecy, which had just been promoted to the Championnat National, would not be renewed.[3]

In summer 2022, after two seasons at Racing Besançon, Yamissi retired from playing and became assistant coach to David Le Frapper at the club.[4]
