Club career

Born in Yaoundé, Bagnack came to FC Barcelona in 2008, through the Samuel Eto'o Foundation at the age of 13.[3] He was promoted to the reserves on 3 August 2012.[4]

Bagnack made his professional debut on 8 September 2012, replacing Kiko Femenía in the 75th minute of a 1–0 away win against CD Guadalajara for the Segunda División championship.[5] However, it was his maiden appearance of the campaign.

Bagnack profited from David Lombán and Marc Muniesa's departures in 2013–14, appearing in 24 matches. He renewed his link with the Catalans on 28 January 2014, running until 2017,[6] and scored his first goal on 7 June, netting the second of a 2–1 away win against Hércules CF.[7]

In the 2014–15 season, Bagnack received eleven yellow cards and one red in a campaign which saw his team relegated to Segunda División B, his expulsion coming in a 1–0 loss at Real Betis on 8 November. On 12 January 2016, he rescinded his contract with Barça,[8] and signed for FC Nantes shortly after.

On 31 August 2016, Bagnack returned to Spain after signing a one-year deal with Real Zaragoza.[9]

On 27 July 2020, Bagnack signed a three-year contract with Partizan.[10]

International career

After appearing with Cameroon under-20's, Bagnack was named in the senior squad for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.[11][12] On 7 January 2015, he made his debut for Cameroon in a friendly against DR Congo. He came in as the half-time substitute, replacing Raoul Loé and playing the entire second half.[13]

In August 2017, he was part of the Cameroon U23 team playing at the 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games held in Baku, Azerbaijan.[14]
