Club career
The French newspaper Le Parisien described Ongenda as the best of a generation of French footballers which also included Kingsley Coman, Anthony Martial and Adrien Rabiot.[1] Ongenda made his debut for Paris Saint-Germain on 6 January 2013, in a Coupe de France 4–3 victory over Arras.
On 3 August 2013, he featured in the Trophée des Champions against Bordeaux, coming on for Javier Pastore in the 73rd minute and scoring the equaliser eight minutes later as PSG went on to win 2–1.[2] He registered his first Ligue 1 match at 9 August, in a 1–1 draw at Montpellier. Ongenda was loaned for the 2014–15 season to fellow league side Bastia.[3] Upon his return in the capital, he scored his first Ligue 1 goal on 22 November 2015, in a 2–1 defeat of Lorient.[4]
Ongenda joined Dutch side Zwolle in January 2017; he only played three games for Zwolle in a five-month period despite being signed for a 3.5-year deal.[1] On 12 March 2018, having not made an official appearance in more than a year, he signed for Segunda División B side Real Murcia.[5] After playing two games over a two-month period, he again left the club.[1]
On 17 July 2018, Ongenda agreed a contract with Romanian team FC Botoșani.[6] Ten days later, he made his Liga I debut in a 2–0 home victory against Hermannstadt. On 13 January 2020, he signed with Italian Serie B club Chievo until the end of the 2019–20 season, with an option to extend the contract until 2022.[7] Ongenda returned to Botoșani in September 2020, after failing to make an impact during his stint in Italy.
International career
Born in France, Ongenda is of DR Congolese descent. He is a former youth international for France, having played up to the France U21s.[8]
