Club career
At the age of 15, Benchy signed for Haitian top flight side Violette, where they suffered relegation to the Haitian second division.[5] After that, he joined the youth academy of the New York Red Bulls in the United States.[6] In 2015, he trained with a Belgian team.[7]
In 2017, Benchy signed for Dominican Republic club Cibao. After that, he signed for Don Bosco.[8] Before the 2019 season, Estama signed for Hang Yuen in Taiwan, where he was top scorer.[9][10][11] Before the 2020 season, he left Hang Yuen.[12] After that, he signed for Taiwan Steel, helping them win the league.[13][14] Before the 2022 season, he signed for Taichung Futuro.[15]
International career
Benchy was a Haiti youth international,[16] but refused to represent senior team internationally, due to not wanting to be used as a political tool.[2] Having played in Taiwan for the last five years, Benchy became eligible to represent Chinese Taipei and was called up to the centralised training camp in September 2024.
