The Cameroonian made a strong impression in his debut campaign at Terryland, making national made 29 total appearances for United last season as they recorded their best-ever League of Ireland campaign in over thirty years.

Esua gained many plaudits last season for his abilities at both ends of the right-hand flank. He was a part of the second-best defensive unit in the League last season, only conceding 29 goals all campaign, and with 16 successful dribbles and 22 successful crosses, it’s easy to see why he quickly became a Galway United favourite.
