Club career

Born in Thiès, N'Doye played for nearly 20 clubs during his career, mainly in Portugal's Primeira Liga[1][2][3] and the Romanian Liga I. In his country, he represented ASC Diaraf and ASC Jeanne d'Arc, moving abroad in 2002 and signing with French side Toulouse FC.

In the 2014–15 season, the 36-year-old N'Doye scored a career-best 12 goals in 23 matches for ASA Târgu Mureș, helping his team to the second position three points behind champions FC Steaua București.[4][5] In September 2015, he renewed his contract for another year.[6]

Early into 2016, N'Doye left the club without permission,[7] but eventually returned to complete the campaign. On 12 August he signed with another team in the country, Liga III's CNS Cetate Deva.[8]

In late September 2018, N'Doye came out retirement and joined amateurs CSM Târgu Mureș (Liga IV).[9]
