Club career
After spending his youth career at FC Perly-Certoux, FC Saint-Jean GE and Servette, Moubandje settled his career at Meyrin, where he started his career at sixteen years old.
Servette
In January 2010, Moubandje re-joined Servette, the club he spent when he was thirteen before he left for Meryin, signing his first professional contract.
Moubandje remained in the reserve team until he made his first team debut for Servette debut in the second leg of the relegation play-offs, in a 3–1 win over Bellinzona on 31 May 2011. He then made his league debut for the club on 23 July 2011, where he came on as a substitute for Christian Schlauri in the 37th minutes, in a 3–2 win over Zürich. However, in a match against Neuchâtel Xamax on 14 August 2011, he received a red card after a second bookable offence, in a 0–0 draw. Moubandje scored his first Servette goal on 26 October 2011, in a 4–1 win over Grasshopper. In a 3–0 loss against Thun on 19 October 2011, he received a red card for the second time this season after another second bookable offence. He finished the 2011–12 season having made 26 appearance scoring once.
In the 2012–13 season, Moubandje established himself in the starting eleven in the left-back position and appeared in the first nine matches until he suffered a knee injury. He also made his Europa League debut in the first leg of a Europa League Qualifier, in a 2–0 win over Gandzasar Kapan and went on to make three more appearances. After months on the sidelined, Moubandje made his return, coming on as a substitute for Vincent Rüfli, in a 2–1 loss against Basel. After being sent-off in a 4–1 loss against St. Gallen for a second bookable offence, Moubandje was unable to help Servette, who were relegated from the Swiss Super League at the end of the 2012–13 season.
In the 2013–14 season, Moubandje made six appearance for Servette in the Challenge League and scored once, in a 2–0 win over Chiasso on 25 August 2013.
