Felagha was born on July 27, 1994, and he was part of the Flying Eagles squad that finished second at the 2009 U-20 World Cup hosted by Nigeria.

He started his career at Aspire Academy before joining Belgian side AS Eupen in 2012. However, his time with the Pandas lasted just for one year, making just two appearances for the side.

After leaving Eupen, he was without a club and had to cut his career short due to persistent injuries. Details about his burial will be communicated soon.

He was survived by his sisters and uncles.
