Valencia came to Guayaquil to try out in Emelec in 2008 from Caribe Junior's youth system, the same team where Ecuador star Antonio Valencia played on his early years, . In 2008, he was transferred to Emelec, on a free where he has played since. From 2008 to early 2010 he received no opportunities on the first team, but with the arrival of the Argentinian coach Jorge Sampaoli, Valencia started to receive playtime opportunities. In 2010 he played mostly as a sub but on very few games where he was a starter, then on 2011 he has had plenty more opportunities and despite still not being an unmovable part of Emelec's starting eleven, if he doesn’t start he is usually a first choice sub.
He has not received an international call up to this day although many pundits believe he should get a chance on Ecuador's squad.
He is married and has one child. He has no family relationship with Antonio Valencia and the fact that they played in the same team as kids and bear the same last name is merely a coincidence, in fact Antonio and Enner did not even get a chance to play together in Caribe Junior, Antonio was already gone when Enner was signed by the Sucumbios team.
