Club career


Born in the Anambra State in Nigeria, he moved to Cameroon to join AS Fortuna de Mfou Yaoundé's youth team.[1] On 28 March 2012 he was signed by Buriram United in what will be the beginning of three seasons spent in Thai football. His time with Buriram only lasted for a few months before he moved to fourth tier side Bangkok Christian College on 1 August 2012.[2] A move to second tier club Krabi for the 2013 Thai Division 1 League would follow before ending his time in Thailand with fourth tier club Prachuap.

His advisor Ognjen Karisik would bring him to Europe where he had a trial with Serbian club Vojvodina who signed him on 24 January 2015 on a two-and-a-half year contract.[3] He made his debut in a Serbian Cup game against Kolubara on 28 October 2015 that ended in a goalless draw, before Vojvodina won 5–4 on penalties.[4] He would see very little playing time with the club after suffering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. His contract with Vojvodina was eventually terminated, and on 18 July 2016 he signed a one-year deal with Slovenian side Rudar Velenje.[5]

In January 2018, Mary moved to the China League One side Meizhou Hakka.[6] He made his debut and scored his first goal for the club in a league game against Shijiazhuang Ever Bright on 10 March 2018 that ended in a 2–1 defeat.[7] After winning the golden boot award at the end of the 2018 China League One campaign, Chinese top tier club Shenzhen signed him on 2 July 2019 halfway through the 2019 Chinese Super League season.[8]

On 30 January 2022, Mary joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab.[9]


International career


Despite being born in Nigeria, John Mary was naturalized and played for Cameroon U20 in 2011.[citation needed]

Since 2021 he has been receiving calls for the Cameroon senior team.[10] He made his debut on 6 September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against the Ivory Coast, a 2–1 away loss. He substituted Moumi Ngamaleu in the 62nd minute.[11]
