Club career
Nouhou began his career in 2015 with Rainbow Bamenda, where he played for one season.

Nouhou signed with Seattle Sounders FC on 26 January 2017, earning his first team contract after performing admirably for S2 in 2016, according to General Manager Garth Lagerway.[3] Nouhou scored his first professional goal while loaned down to S2 on 15 April 2017, the second goal in a 2–1 away win over LA Galaxy II.[7]
Nouhou made his Seattle Sounders FC debut on 31 May 2017, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 loss to Columbus Crew.[8] He quickly became a fan favorite amongst Sounders FC supporters, often known for his showmanship during matches.[9] Nouhou was named to the 2021 MLS All-Star Game roster.[10] He scored his first goal for the Sounders against the Houston Dynamo on 4 September 2022.
