[edit] Club career
He started his English club career at Petersfield Town He went on to score 12 goals in 15 games in the 2004/05 season before attracting the attention of higher league clubs.[citation needed]
He joined Forest Green Rovers on loan from local side Bristol City of Football League One, then signed permanently when Bristol City showed their intention not to keep him. He was a consistent goalscorer for the Rovers with quick feet and plenty of snap-shots. Madjo left Forest Green in August 2006 and joined Stafford Rangers. Guy Madjo was the first ever full time player at Stafford Rangers.
Madjo joined Crawley Town on June 28, 2007. He enjoyed a great first few months of the 2007-08 season, with 11 league goals in 18 games. It was this form that led League One club Cheltenham Town to bring him in on a one month loan on November 21, 2007, with a view to a permanent move.[1]
On January 11, 2008, it was announced that Madjo had returned from his loan spell and signed a permanent deal with Shrewsbury for £20,000.[2] In July 2008 Madjo was told that he did not figure in new manager Paul Simpson's immediate plans, being left behind as the club travelled to Spain on a pre-season training camp.[3] After failing to make a single appearance in the first four months of the 2008-09 season, his contract was terminated on December 4, 2008.[4]
[edit] International career
In November 2007, Madjo earned a call-up to the Cameroonian national football team after Samuel Eto'o was forced to withdraw following a thigh injury.[5]
In May 2008 he was again called up to represent his country, as part of a Cameroonian under-23 training camp ahead of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.[6]
