He has been without a club since being released from the latter in January 2022.

Emerun also gained experience with the Nigerian national under-20 side.

Emerun, who gained Serbian citizenship during his time in the country, joins his compatriot and manager Vojislav Bralušić. He will have his first opportunity to represent the FC Ulaanbaatar in official competition will be 21 August when the club takes on Khaan Khuns Erchim in the 2022/23 Super Cup to kick off the Mongolian football season.
