Career[]

Ninga was born in Mandoul, a region located in the southern part of Chad. Ninga was the top goalscorer of the Gabon Championnat National D1 in the 2013–14 season. He also won two consecutive Gabon Championnat National D1 titles with Mangasport in the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons.

In the summer of 2015, Ninga signed for Ligue 1 club Montpellier HSC, where he registered 7 goals and 4 assists in 26 Ligue 1 matches in his first season.[1] On 1 October 2016, Ninga scored a hat-trick for Montpellier against Dijon in the 3–3 Ligue 1 away draw.[2]

On 8 August 2019, Ninga joined Ligue 1 club Angers SCO by signing a three-year contract.[3] On 22 September 2019, he came on as a substitute in the 69th minute and scored a hat-trick (and his first Ligue 1 goals for Angers) in the 4–1 Ligue 1 home win over Saint-Étienne to enable Angers to take provisional second place in the Ligue 1 table.[4]

On 27 August 2020 he went to Sivasspor on loan.[5][6]
