Career
After spending time in the Kadji Sports Academy in Cameroon, Etim moved to Florida to join the Montverde Academy. He became the second ever signing for new Major League Soccer franchise Los Angeles FC in April 2017, and was immediately loaned to their United Soccer League affiliate Orange County SC.[1][2]
On 15 July 2019, Etim signed a two-year contract with Danish 1st Division club FC Roskilde after two weeks trial.[3] After four years at Roskilde, Etim joined FC Helsingør in June 2023, signing a two-year deal.[4]
On 17 July 2024, after the 2023–24 season ended in relegation for Helsingør, the Danish 1st Division club Hillerød Fodbold confirmed that they had signed Etim on a contract until June 2026.[5]
On transfer deadline day, 1 September 2025, Etim transferred to the Romanian Liga I club Universitatea Craiova.[6] The club did not disclose the duration of the contract.[7]
