A week later, he scored on his league debut, notching a 78th minute consolation in a 2–1 defeat to Notts County, which Pogba scored two weeks later, in a 5–1 loss against Brentford.

Mathias Fassou Pogba (born 19 August 1990) is a Guinean professional footballer who most recently played as a forward for Championnat National 2 club Belfort.

Having started his career as a youth at Celta Vigo, Pogba played briefly for Quimper in France before following his brother Paul to the United Kingdom, where he played for Wrexham and Crewe Alexandra.

The pair left the club in 2009, with Pogba stating his time there was difficult due to language barriers, living abroad and being away from his family.

He returned to France to join fourth division side Quimper, scoring twice in the league during one season at the club.

While at the club, he lived with Algerian international Riyad Mahrez.

In September 2010, Pogba joined Conference National side Wrexham after a successful trial spell in August 2010.

It took until 3 January 2011 for Pogba to score his first Wrexham goal, in a 2–0 win over Bath City.

Pogba then scored two goals in two games against Cambridge United and Mansfield Town.

His fourth goal later came on 22 February 2011, in a 1–0 win over Wimbledon.

In the 2011–12 season, Pogba played in the first two games, but was then dropped for two matches, due to an off-the-pitch issue.

He returned to the first team against Alfreton Town and scored his first goal of the season in a 4–1 win.

By the end of December, Pogba had scored a further six times (against Grimsby Town, Hayes & Yeading United, Luton Town, Lincoln City. and two against Gateshead) in 22 appearances.

After being sidelined for two games due to fitness, Pogba made his return against Forest Green Rovers, only to be sidelined for the third time after suffering an ankle injury.

He was voted the club's young player of the year during the 2011–12 season.

Out of contract at the end of the year, Pogba was offered a new two-year deal by the club, which he rejected in a bid to play football at a higher level.

Wrexham boss Andy Morrell criticised Pogba's handling of the situation, describing him as "disrespectful" to the club after not informing them of his intention to leave until 48-hours before the start of the club's pre-season.

His scoring form in January soon led Pogba to sign a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2012.

Pogba made 29 appearances and scored four times in his first season at Wrexham.

On his return, Pogba scored in a 4–1 win over Hayes & Yeading United on 18 February 2012.

He later added three more goals (against Ebbsfleet United, Darlington and Braintree Town).

After leaving Wrexham, Pogba signed for Crewe Alexandra on 7 July 2012 on a two-year deal.

After scoring eight goals in 11 pre-season friendly matches, Pogba was given the number 9 shirt ahead of the new season.

Pogba quickly made an impact when he scored twice on his debut against Hartlepool in a League Cup first round tie on 11 August.

He made his first team return, coming on as a substitute for A-Jay Leitch-Smith in the 62nd minute, in a 1–0 loss against Milton Keynes Dons on 29 September 2012.

By the end of December, Pogba scored four more league goals in 20 appearances (against Doncaster Rovers, Colchester United, Sheffield United and Oldham Athletic), while scoring two more goals in separate cup competitions against Wycombe Wanderers and Doncaster Rovers.

Despite missing out for the Football League Trophy Final and the club's promotion to League One, Pogba made 41 appearances and scoring 16 times (making him the club's top scorer of the 2012–13 season) in all competitions.

Pogba has also played five times for the Guinea national team since his debut in 2013.

After growing up in Paris, Pogba joined the youth system at Spanish side Celta Vigo along with his twin brother Florentin.

After two months without scoring, Pogba ended his goal drought when he scored in a 2–1 loss against Bournemouth on 12 February 2013.

Pogba later added four more goals - one each against Portsmouth, and Colchester United and a brace against MK Dons.

However, Pogba suffered a torn thigh that sidelined him for the rest of the season, resulting him having an operation.

Ahead of the 2013–14 season, the club's head physio Rob Sharp expected Pogba to be fit for the start of pre-season friendlies.

Pogba was included in five pre-season matches still in shirt number 9.

However, he sustained a medial ligament injury to his right knee during a 2–0 defeat to a Manchester United XI.

After four years in the English leagues, he moved to Italian Serie B side Pescara in 2014, but returned to England with Crawley Town only a few months later.
