He grew up in Togo as well as Nigeria, and speaks French. In November 2021 he was scouted by Stabæk's Torgeir Bjarmann and Thomas Finstad in Nigeria during a showcase tournament arranged by agent Atta Aneke. He trained with Stabæk during the winter of 2022 before returning after his visa expired.[2] Returning to Norway, he signed for Stabæk in late May 2022. The transfer from Nigerian club Bison FC was a loan with an option to buy.[3]

He scored his first goals in cup matches against semi-professional teams Notodden and Gjøvik-Lyn (twice).[4] After this he became a starting player for Stabæk. His goal against SK Brann was compared to Alanzinho's time at Stabæk.[5] VG also called him a "striker jewel".[6]

When Stabæk sold Oliver Valaker Edvardsen in July, the club announced they would spend the money on Orban's buyout option.[7] The contract tying Orban to Stabæk until the end of 2026 was announced on 3 August.[8] He became the top scorer in the 2022 Norwegian First Division with 16 goals, alongside Bård Finne.[9] Helping Stabæk win promotion to 2023 Eliteserien, Orban was also named Young Player of the Year in the First Division.[10]
