Career

Born in Deptford, south London, Ngakia had a trial with Chelsea's academy before joining West Ham United at the age of 14 after being scouted by West Ham academy goalkeeping coach Jerome John whilst playing for Surrey Quays-based youth club Ballers Football Academy. Ngakia made his under-18 debut for West Ham during the 2016–17 season, making his under-23 debut in February 2018. On 29 January 2020, Ngakia made his debut for West Ham in a 2–0 Premier League loss against Liverpool.
In June 2020, with his contract due to finish at the end of the month, Ngakia turned down the offer of an extension leaving him available on a free transfer when his current contract ends. West Ham later confirmed his departure at the end of June 2020. Ngakia's last appearance for West Ham was the 0–2 Premier League defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderer on 20 June 2020 with West Ham still having seven games remaining in their 2019-20 campaign.
