Club career
Early years
Born in Thiès, N'Doye began his career with ASC Jeanne d'Arc. In 2006, he signed for Al Sadd SC in the Qatar Stars League.[2]
N'Doye arrived in Europe in the summer of 2006, joining Académica de Coimbra.[3] From 2007 to 2009 he competed in the Super League Greece, with Panathinaikos F.C. and OFI.
Copenhagen
On 12 January 2009, N'Doye moved to Danish Superliga club F.C. Copenhagen.[4] He scored his first goal on 7 March 2009, helping to a 3–0 away win over Randers FC, and finished his first full season with 14 goals, as the club renewed its domestic supremacy.
On 4 August 2010, N'Doye netted the 3–2 winner (also the aggregate score) in the 59th minute of the playoff round of the UEFA Champions League against FC BATE Borisov.[5] In the group stage, he helped his team become the first ever in the country to reach the knockout stages with goals against FC Rubin Kazan (1–0, home)[6] and Panathinaikos (2–0 in Athens).[7]
Lokomotiv Moscow
In the summer of 2012, N'Doye signed with Russian Premier League side FC Lokomotiv Moscow for an undisclosed fee.[8] He quickly became first-choice, scoring seven times in the first half of the campaign; in November 2012, he won a web poll conducted by club fans to be elected player of the month,[9] repeating the feat in October of the following year.[10]
Hull City
On 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, N'Doye agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract with Hull City for an undisclosed fee.[11] He made his Premier League debut five days later, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for Gastón Ramírez in a 1–1 draw at Manchester City.[12] His first start occurred the following matchday, where he scored the second goal in a 2–0 home defeat of Aston Villa.[13]
Trabzonspor
On 10 August 2015, N'Doye moved to Trabzonspor for £2.2 million.[14] In the following January transfer window he moved clubs and countries again, joining Sunderland until the end of the season.[15] He scored his first goal for the latter on 1 March, converting through a deflected shot to put the hosts ahead in an eventual 2–2 home draw against Crystal Palace.[16]
Return to Copenhagen
On 2 July 2018, free agent N'Doye returned to F.C. Copenhagen on a one-year deal.[17] 27 days later, in a match against Aalborg Boldspilklub at Parken Stadium that finished 4–0, he scored a hat-trick in just 15 minutes to become the club's all-time topscorer, after surpassing César Santin.[18][19]
N'Doye left in the summer of 2020 as his contract, renewed in January 2019,[20] expired.[21]
