Biography
Introduction
Leony Léonard Kweuke (born 12 July 1987) is a Cameroonian footballer who currently plays for Turkish club Çaykur Rizespor.
Career
On 18 December 2008, Kweuke's club DAC Dunajská Streda loaned him to Eintracht Frankfurt to play in the German Bundesliga. For the 2009–10 season, he was loaned to FC Energie Cottbus. On 10 June 2010, DAC announced his return after two years in Germany, but he was sold to Sparta Prague. Kweuke was banned by the league in May 2013 after receiving a red card in a Czech Cup match against Mladá Boleslav. The dismissal was for a tackle which broke the leg of defender Radek Dosoudil in two places. The ban, to last for 12 matches, was the longest-ever punishment issued by the Czech league.
