N'Gal started his professional career in Spain with Villarreal CF at 16, but could not find a place in the first team. In 2004, he moved to Finnish first division team FC Inter Turku, as he had visited the country before, when representing Cameroon in the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship. His first season was not a success due to an injury, as he managed to play only in six matches, scoring twice. In his second season, N'Gal was among the top players in the league, and his impressive performances attracted interest from bigger European clubs.
Midway through 2005–06, he signed with French second level club Stade Brestois 29 but, after an unsuccessful stint, joined Portuguese League's União Desportiva de Leiria.
In May 2008, N'Gal stated that S.L. Benfica and Deportivo de La Coruña had shown interested in him.[1] In August 2008, after Leiria's relegation, N'Gal moved back to Spain and signed a two-year contract with Gimnàstic de Tarragona, in the second division.[2]
After a poor second season with the Catalans - 19 games, no goals - he returned to União de Leiria.
N'Gal represented Cameroon at the 2008 Summer Olympics, appearing in four games in an eventual quarterfinal exit.[3]
