Club career

AGOVV

N'Toko came in the summer of 2007 to AGOVV as a replacement to the departure of Dennis van der Ree to SC Cambuur. Although his primary position is centre back he succeeded as right back for AGOVV in his first season. In his second season at AGOVV he became a regular in the first squad, and was considered one of the best defenders of the Eerste Divisie.[2] In his third season N'Toko was placed to the centre back position due to the brakethrough of fellow AGOVV player Ramon Leeuwin, at the end of the 2009 season N'Toko was released from his contract in search for a new challenge.

ADO Den Haag

In the winter of 2011 N'Toko was signed by former AGOVV manager John van den Brom until the summer of 2013.[3] He played his first game for ADO Den Haag as a substitute in the 0-1 won game against PSV as a substitute from Dmitri Bulykin.[4] On 13 March 2012, N'Toko suffered a serious knee injury and was out for the remainder of the season.[5] N'Toko was released at the end of the 2011/12 season.

Barnet

N'Toko joined Barnet on 15 February 2013,[6] and made his debut when he started in a 2–1 win at York City a day later.[7] Following Barnet's relegation at the end of the season N'Toko was released by the club.[8]

FC Eindhoven

In July 2013, N'Toko signed a two-year deal with FC Eindhoven.
