Club career[]

IF Elsborg[]

Ndione came to Sweden at a young age. He started his career at Borås AIK and later joined IF Elfsborg, but had to leave the club at the age of 15 because he wasn't good enough.[2] He returned to his childhood club, Borås AIK, and after one season, where he scored four goals in seven games in Division 3 for Borås' first team,[3] Ndione returned to IF Elfsborg.[4] After being acclaimed top scorer in the U-17 (23 goals) and U-19 (21 goals) leagues in Sweden in 2016 and 2017, Ndione signed a three-year contract in January 2018 with Elfsborg and was promoted to the senior squad.[5]

In his first season in the senior team, he didn't get any playing time. He made his official debut on 23 February 2019.[6] With 20 minutes left in the Swedish Cup game against IK Frej, Ndione came on from the bench and made his debut. About a month and a half later, he also got his Allsvenskan debut against Hammarby IF on 1 April 2019.[7]

In February 2020, Ndione extended his Elfsborg contract by three years.[8] On 3 September 2020, Ndione was loaned out to Superettan club Örgryte IS in a cooperation agreement, allowing him to represent both clubs in the autumn of 2020.[9]

Returning to Elfsborg for the 2021 season, he made 22 appearances in Allsvenskan and scored five goals.

Viborg FF[]

On 14 January 2022, Ndione joined Danish Superliga club Viborg FF on a deal until June 2025.[10]

Personal life[]

Ndione was born in Sweden, and is of Senegalese descent.[11]
