Tete Yengi, born on 28 November 2000 (age 25), is an Australian striker with the sort of frame defenders tend to notice. At 6ft 6in (1.97m), he is an imposing centre-forward, now with Machida Zelvia and still a regular first-team presence.
His most productive league season came in Finland with VPS in 2022, when he scored seven goals in 24 appearances. That gave him a platform, but the spell that has shaped his career most clearly came at Livingston.
Across three seasons at Livingston, Yengi made 63 league appearances and scored 10 league goals. It was there that he became more than a tall option up front, with regular minutes and a defined role in a side that needed his physical presence as much as his finishing.
Now at Machida Zelvia, Yengi remains an active senior striker rather than a name fading into a squad list. His current market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt. His career so far is a straightforward one: a productive year at VPS, a substantial Livingston spell, and a current role in Japan.
