Career

Gerard first arrived in Hong Kong to play for Rangers FC. Subsequently he played for Instant-Dict, O & YH Union, Happy Valley AA and in 2009 joined South China AA.

Indonesia

At the beginning of the 2007-08 Hong Kong football season, he failed to show up for Happy Valley and was reported to be joining an Indonesian team, Arema Malang. Assistant to Arema manager M Taufan said that Ambassa had failed to show up after he received Rp 150 million (US$16,129), or 25 percent of his total contract with the team. Arema later received information that Ambassa was still under contract with Hong Kong-based club Happy Valley. Soccer's world governing body FIFA has refused to issue free transfer status for Ambassa, at the request of Happy Valley.[1]

South China AA

In 2009 he joined South China. He scored in the 5:4 away defeat to Neftchi Farg'ona in the quarter finals 1st leg.[2] Then he scored a last minute away goal in the 1:2 semi-final defeat by Kuwait SC in the 2009 AFC Cup, thus setting up a crucial home game for South China in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Stadium was packed for the second leg match on 21 October 2009 but South China lost 0:1. [3]

TSW Pegasus

He joined TSW Pegasus on loan from South China AA in the summer of 2010. On 23 September 2009, Gerard Ambassa Guy was sent off in a league game after two bookable offenses, but TSW Pegasus won 4:0 over Citizen.[4]

On 1 March 2011, Gerard scored with a header to help TSW Pegasus secure a 2:1 win over Song Lam Nghe An in the 2011 AFC Cup group game away in Vietnam.[5]

Mohun Bagan

On 23 July 2010, the Cameroonian-born Hong Kong footballer arrived in Kolkata for a trial with Indian club Mohun Bagan as an Asian origin player.[6]
