Gope-Fenepej started his senior career in New Caledonia with AS Kirkitr before moving to AS Magenta in 2011.[1]
On 29 June 2012, he signed a one-year contract with French outfit Troyes AC, newly promoted to French Ligue 1.[2] On 2 February 2013 he made his Ligue 1 debut as a stoppage time substitute in the 1–1 draw at Lille.[3] He scored his first senior goal for the club in a 4–0 Ligue 2 victory at Gazélec Ajaccio on 29 August 2014, his only league appearance for the club that season.[4][5]
In October 2014, Gope-Fenepej joined Boulogne on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season, in order to get more game time.[6]
Returning to Troyes, Gope-Fenepej was limited to appearances for the B team during the early parts of the 2015–16 season, and in November 2015 he secured a move to Amiens SC in the Championnat National.[7] He was a part of the Amiens team which won back-to-back promotions from Championnat National to Ligue 1 in 2015–16 and 2016–17.
In July 2018, Gope-Fenepej returned to the Championnat National with Le Mans.[8] He again won promotion at the end of the season.[4]
He participated in his first tournament for the New Caledonia national team at the 2011 Pacific Games where he scored seven goals as New Caledonia retained their title.[9]
