Club career

Early career

Ngonge started his footballing career in Belgium with Racing Jet de Bruxelles, Gent, RFC Seraing, La Louvière and Harelbeke, before moving to Turkish side Samsunspor, and then Watford in June 1998.

Watford

During his time at Watford he became an integral part of the team scoring 11 goals in 56 games. He also played an important role in the 1998–99 season in which Watford gained promotion to the Premier League for the first time, via the play-offs. Ngonge scored six goals in his first season at Watford, scoring the all-important goal in the first leg of the Division One play-off against Birmingham City.

Loan to Huddersfield Town

In the 1999–2000 season, despite starting the season well, scoring in the opening match of the season, Ngonge found himself out of favour at Vicarage Road and was loaned out to Huddersfield Town in March 2000.

Queens Park Rangers

Following the relegation of Watford back to Division 1, Ngonge failed to make much of an impression and was subsequently sold to Queens Park Rangers for £50,000, where he played 15 games and scored three goals.

Kilmarnock

Ngonge then finished his career at Scottish side Kilmarnock, where he scored three goals in his 12 games at the Rugby Park-based club.

Personal life

Ngonge's son, Cyril Ngonge, is also a professional footballer.
