Club career

West Ham United

He was born in London, and signed as a West Ham United player in 2006.[3] He was named as a substitute in their home game against Stoke City on 28 December 2008.[4] N'Gala made his debut for West Ham in their 3–1 away defeat in the League Cup to Bolton Wanderers on 22 September 2009.[5]

N'Gala had been playing youth and reserve team football for West Ham before being signed by Weymouth in January 2008, originally on a season-long loan.[6][7] He made his debut on 12 January 2008, in the 0–0 draw against Kidderminster Harriers.[7][8] He made three senior appearances for Weymouth, but following a change of management he returned to West Ham United.[3]

N'Gala signed on loan for Milton Keynes Dons in November 2008,[9] and made his first team appearance for them in their 3–0 win over Walsall on 22 November.[10] N'Gala played three times for MK Dons before returning to West Ham in December 2008.

N'Gala signed on a one-month loan for Scunthorpe United in October 2009.[11] His debut for Scunthorpe came on 7 November, in their 4–1 away defeat to Blackpool when he came on as a second half substitute for Grant McCann.[12] He returned to West Ham at the end of November having played only two games for Scunthorpe.[13]

N'Gala joined Plymouth Argyle on loan until the end of the 2009–10 season in March 2010.[14] He made his debut one week later in a 2–0 win at Ipswich Town.[15] Following that game, N'Gala was singled out for praise by Paul Mariner, the club's manager. "Bondz is a unique character" said the former England international. "He didn't play like a 20-year-old. He played like a seasoned pro and it galvanised the team because they thought this kid can be what you want".[16]

Plymouth Argyle

In May 2010, having been released from his contract by West Ham, N'Gala signed a two year contract with Argyle.[17] He scored his first senior goal in March 2011 with the opener in a 4–2 win at Sheffield Wednesday.[18] He made 28 appearances in all competitions that season and was sent off twice, as the club struggled with financial problems. Argyle were deducted ten points by the Football League and eventually relegated for a second consecutive season.

Yeovil Town

N'Gala joined Yeovil Town on a free transfer in July 2011 as Plymouth entered administration.[19][20] N'Gala made his debut in Yeovil's 2-0 defeat against Brentford.[21] and scored his first goal for Yeovil Town in their 2-2 draw against Leyton Orient.[22]
