A youth product of Borussia Mönchengladbach, he represented their reserve squad in the Regionalliga West, in the German fourth tier, as well as Eredivisie side Roda JC Kerkrade on loan in the 2017–18 season. In 2018, he moved to FC Luzern for a reported 650,000 CHF and collected 44 caps for Luzern in the Swiss Super League.[1] In his final season at Luzern, he barely saw any play anymore, making only six appearances in the league.
On 30 June 2022, he signed for Grasshopper Club Zürich on a free transfer.[2] In his first official game for Grasshoppers, he was nominated to the starting lineup in a 2–1 win over FC Lugano on 24 July 2022.[3] On 6 August 2022, he scored his first goal for the Grasshoppers, with a shot from 20 meters, equalizing the game mere seconds before the half-time break.[4] He scored a second goal in the same game in the 69th minute for the 3–2 winner over FC St. Gallen. It was his first ever brace in the Swiss Super League and earned him the MVP title for the match.[5]
Ndenge represented Germany at under-19 and under-20 level.[6] In October 2020, he was called up to the Cameroon senior squad for the first time but did not make any appearances.[7]
Born in Germany, Ndenge is of Cameroonian descent.[8]
