Career

Benga joined Botev Plovdiv on 18 January 2014.[1][2]

On 22 July 2014, Benga signed a one-year contract with Gabala FK of the Azerbaijan Premier League.[3] In December of the same year, following the appointment of Roman Hryhorchuk, Benga was told he was no longer required by the club, and continued to train in Gabala on his own instead of terminating his contract early,[4] eventually leaving the club in June 2015.[5] After leaving Gabala, Benga returned to FC Petrolul Ploiești, signing a three-year contract.[6]

In January 2018, Benga joined Polish club Sandecja Nowy Sącz on a 6-month contract.[7] He made his Ekstraklasa debut in 0–0 draw against Śląsk Wrocław on 3 March 2018. After Sandecja's relegation by the end of 2017–18 season, he left the club.[8]

On 3 July 2018, Benga signed with Bulgarian club Septemvri Sofia.[9]
