Club career

Baning played for Swiss side FC Aarau before joining his former club Paris Saint-Germain in July 2006.

His transfer was largely engineered by new team president Alain Cayzac. PSG's coach, Guy Lacombe, has admitted to never actually having seen him play.

He joined the club RC Strasbourg, 26 January 2010 as a loan.

On 27 June Baning signed a one-year contract with the famous Israeli club of Maccabi Tel Aviv.[1] On 1 Sep 2010 Maccabi announced that Baning is released[2] from his contract due to mutual consent following an injury he is suffering from.

International career

True to his name, Baning was sent off twice in three games for Cameroon at the 2008 Beijing Olympics..
