Club career

edit

Having progressed through his youth career at Paris Saint-Germain and scored 27 goals for the reserve side, Banvo was released by the club and then went on trial at Blackpool.[2][3] Blackpool soon became keen on signing Banvo.[4] Banvo signed with Blackpool in August 2012.[5] Upon the move, Banvo was given number twenty-nine shirt for the club.[6] Blackpool opted to take up their option of a contract extension that would ensure Banvo remained under contract for the 2013–14 season.[7]

Banvo was loaned out to Stevenage, lying in last place in League One, on 27 March 2014.[8] He made his debut in the Football League two days later, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute for Filipe Morais in a 1–1 draw with Port Vale at Broadhall Way.[9] After making his only appearance at Stevenage, it announced that Banvo was released by the club after they decided not to offer a new contract.[10]

On 4 February 2015, Banvo signed with Bulgarian side Vereya.[11]

After spells at Paris FC II, Boulogne, Martigues, Drancy, and then a return to Martigues, Banvo signed for Annecy on 30 May 2020, who were just promoted to the Championnat National, France's third division.[12] In 2021, he signed for Championnat National 2 side Les Herbiers.[13]
