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]

On 1 August 2023, Viborg announced that Ndione had been sent on loan to Liga Portugal 2 side Feirense.[11][12] After the loan spell, Ndione was not involved in the pre-season in Viborg, as the club had announced that the player was not part of the plans and was exploring the possibilities of finding a new club.[13]

On July 16, 2024, Viborg confirmed that they had terminated the agreement with Ndione. Ndione made just 10 appearances for Viborg, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists, before his departure.[14]

FC U Craiova

On 6 September 2024, Ndione joined Romanian Liga II club FC U Craiova on a three-year contract.[15]

Personal life

Ndione was born in Sweden, and is of Senegalese descent.[16]
