Career

N'Daw began his career with Sochaux. He appeared in over 120 matches and scored five goals for the club before moving to Nantes in 2008.[1] After Nantes were relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of his first season with the club, N'Daw joined Saint-Étienne on loan for the 2009–10 Ligue 1 season. The deal included a clause by which the move would be made permanent if Saint-Étienne retained their top-flight status.[2] After a successful campaign, the loan was made permanent for a fee of €4m. On 24 January 2011 N'Daw joined Spanish club Real Zaragoza on loan until the end of the season.[3]

On 23 August 2011, N'Daw joined English Championship (second-tier) club Birmingham City on loan until January 2012, with an option to extend the contract until the end of the season.[4] He made his debut for the club in a 3–1 defeat to Braga in the group stages of the Europa League.[5] After several Europa League appearances, N'Daw finally made his Football League debut as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 defeat at Hull City in December.[6]

International career

N'Daw first played for the Senegal national football team in 2004. As of August 2011, he had 39 caps for his country and had scored three goals.[7] He was named in Senegal's 23-man squad for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.[8]
