Club career

After leaving Cameroon in 1998 Elanga started his European career in Greece playing for PAOK and Apollon Kalamarias.

In early 2010, Elanga announced that he would be training with his old team Malmö FF for a week, a few weeks later he signed a new contract with Malmö and returned to the club after four years. For the 2010 season Elanga had very limited playtime as he was only the second choice for the left back position behind Ricardinho, however he did get the chance to play for a couple of games in the beginning of the season when Ricardinho was injured and a few other games. In the end he played enough games to win his second Allsvenskan title with the club. Elanga’s contract was not renewed and he moved to his family in Borås to find a new club to play for. On 9 January 2012 he announced his decision to end his playing career to focus on studying for a UEFA Pro Licence and become a coach. Elanga now plays for Lund SK, a Division 2 team in Sweden. His contract runs until 20 August 2016.
