Menkara Iňanojk, formerly known as Işæk Iňanojk until 2015, is a Birgesh-born Hazarese footballer who currently plays for Hänävissen-ó-Cräiteland FC in Craitland. Primarily used as a left-back, Iňanojk is also capable of playing at right-back and as a wing-back.
Career
Club
Iňanojk began his professional career with B-Lig side Otaq Röyal FK in 2012 ahead of the league's first season, where he established himself as the team's starting left-back as they finished in second. In the following season Iňanojk helped the team to its first silverware as they won the league Grand Final. The defender's performances attracted interest from CrFA League 1 club Hänävissen-ó-Cräiteland FC in the summer of 2013, and a Cr 5.5 million deal was agreed for his transfer in the June.
Seen as the perfect replacement for the retiring Freddie Zóma-ó-Täó, Iňanojk was handed the Hänävissen-ó-Cräiteland number 3 jersey and was a regular starter in his first campaign, though the team struggled competitively. After the club finished bottom of the table for the first time in its history in 2015, the 2016 season was more successful as the team won its third every trophy in the King's Cup final, where Iňanojk helped keep a clean sheet.
As cup holders, the team qualified for the following year's WMFA Cup, with Iňanojk an important part of a side that reached the semi-finals and also the final of the 2017 Cities' Cup, finishing with a runners-up medal. However, Iňanojk and HóC saw a drop in form in 2018, with three early cup competition exits and a ninth place league finish, but improvements in the subsequent 2019 and 2020 seasons saw the defender a first-choice in sides that placed fifth and sixth, respectively.
