==Career== Mayebi previously played for FC Metz, AEK Larnaca and Hakoah Ramat Gan.
He was selected for the Cameroon national football team at the 2008 Summer Olympics, but did not appear in any matches. He was called into the squad for a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Togo on 28 March 2009,<ref>{{cite web|publisher=FIFA|title=A new look for Cameroon|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1038610.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090324125446/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1038610.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 March 2009|date=17 March 2009|accessdate=2009-07-01}}</ref> but did not play.
In late 2010 he spent time on trial with Preston North End and Leicester City.
===Wrexham=== He joined Wrexham on trial in December 2010,<ref>{{cite web |author = Wrexham A.F.C. |date = 22 December 2010 |title = Reds Look To Sign New Keeper |url = http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10311~2249908,00.html |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120325133503/http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10311~2249908,00.html |archive-date = 25 March 2012 |access-date = 19 July 2025 |author-link = Wrexham A.F.C. }}</ref> and, after impressing manager Dean Saunders, joined the club on 1 January 2011 until the end of the 2010–11 season.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Wrexham FC |title=Reds Capture Cameroonian |url=http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10311~2255513,00.html |date=1 January 2011 |accessdate=1 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120407061556/http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10311~2255513%2C00.html |archivedate= 7 April 2012 }}</ref> He made his debut against Luton Town on 30 April 2011.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/9465794.stm |title=Luton Town 1-1 Wrexham |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 April 2011 |access-date=2012-08-20}}</ref> In the 2011–12 season Mayebi made his second appearance against Kidderminster Harriers due to Chris Maxwell being away on Wales under-21 duty, keeping a clean sheet. He went on to replace Maxwell as Wrexham's first choice goalkeeper after conceding only 7 goals in a 16-game run.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport-news/wrexham-fc/2011/12/16/comment-wrexham-fc-s-joslain-mayebi-has-proved-the-doubters-wrong-including-me-55578-29961967/ |title=Joslain Mayebi has proved the doubters wrong including me |newspaper=Daily Post |date=16 December 2011 |accessdate=2012-08-20 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120724092651/http://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport-news/wrexham-fc/2011/12/16/comment-wrexham-fc-s-joslain-mayebi-has-proved-the-doubters-wrong-including-me-55578-29961967/ |archivedate=24 July 2012 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author = Wrexham A.F.C. |title = Wrexham {{!}} Match {{!}} Fixtures {{!}} 2011 |url = http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/page/Fixtures/0,,10311,00.html |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111216154725/http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/page/Fixtures/0%2C%2C10311%2C00.html |archive-date = 16 December 2011 |access-date = 19 July 2025 |author-link = Wrexham A.F.C. }}</ref> Maxwell left Wrexham and joined Fleetwood Town due to a lack of first team opportunities.
In July 2012, with Mayebi and youth goalkeeper Louis Gray the only recognised goalkeepers at the club, the announcement of the signing of Andy Coughlin was made to challenge Mayebi for the number one spot during the 2012–13 season. Mayebi began the 2012/13 season relatively well keeping 6 clean sheets in the first 11 games of the season. His play earned him a callup to the Cameroon national football team for a Cup of Nations qualifier.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/19787681 Akono calls up names from the past]</ref> On 29 January 2013 Mayebi picked up a season-ending injury in a 2–2 draw with Southport, the Cameroon international ruptured his Achilles and will be out for approximately 8 months possibly more.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/article/mayebi-injured-13.01.29-627336.aspx| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140223193307/http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/article/mayebi-injured-13.01.29-627336.aspx| archive-date = 2014-02-23| title = Joslain Out For Months}}</ref> This caused Wrexham to re-sign Chris Maxwell on a loan from Fleetwood for the remainder of the season. On 24 March 2013 Mayebi picked up his first honour in football when Wrexham beat Grimsby Town on penalties at Wembley Stadium. Although Mayebi did not play at Wembley due to injury, he picked up a medal after playing in previous rounds against Rushall Olympic, Solihull Moors, Sutton United and Southport.
===Kidderminster Harriers=== On 24 November 2014, Joslain signed for Kidderminster Harriers on non-contract terms.
===Hereford=== In the summer of 2018 he signed for Hereford.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.herefordtimes.com/sport/16418715.hereford-fc-waiting-on-clearance-for-welsh-forward/|title=Bulls waiting on clearance for Welsh forward|date=14 August 2018 }}</ref> He left again on 4 October 2018.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20181004235305/http://nonleaguedaily.com/mayebi-leaves-hereford-but-smith-stay-extended/ Mayebi leaves Hereford but Smith stay extended]}}, nonleaguedaily.com, 4 October 2018</ref>
