Club career

N'Doumbou began his football career at Division 1 Gabonese club AS Sogara's youth team. At the age of 12, N'Doumbou departed the country for France to join local club FC Carpentras in the south of France. He later had a stint at Martigues before joining Marseille on a trial. After having a successful trial, N'Doumbou was offered an aspirant (youth) contract. While in the club's youth academy, he was captain of the Marseille under-17 team that won the 2008–09 Championnat National Under-17 league title. On 18 November 2009, N'Doumbou signed his first professional contract. The contract took effect on 1 July 2011 as the player had to play out the two years left on his élite contract.[2][3] N'Doumbou made his professional debut on 9 January 2010, five days after his 18th birthday, in a Coupe de France match against amateur club Trélissac in a 2–0 victory.[4]

On 10 August 2011, N'Doumbou joined Orléans on a one-year loan.[5] After spending a season for the third tier club, N'Doumbou returned to Marseille where he was incorporated into to the Marseille B team who were allowed to play in the fifth tier of French football. On 30 June 2013 N'Doumbou was loaned out once again to Orléans. He returned to the Marseille B and despite being included on the bench for Marseille on August 2016, N'Doumbou signed with Belgian third vision side, FCV Dender EH.[6]

In July 2018, N'doumbou moved to Bulgarian first division club, FC Vereya. N'Doumbou resumed his Chinese nationality and joined Chinese Super League side Shanghai Greenland Shenhua in February 2019.[7] N'Doumbou lifted the CFA Cup with Shanghai Greenland Shenhua in 6 December 2019.[8]

International career

N'Doumbou plays for the Gabon national team having earned his first call up to the team by former coach Alain Giresse in November 2009.[9] In February 2019, N'Doumbou renounced his Gabonese passport to apply for restoration of Chinese nationality, which means he will be no longer eligible to play for either Gabon national team or China national team.

Personal life

N'Doumbou was born in Port-Gentil to a Gabonese father and a Chinese mother who had previously met in China where his father Washington had been attending school.[10]
