He joined Turkish Süper Lig side Antalyaspor in August 2010, and made his professional debut late in the month, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Trabzonspor. He played 7 games in his debut season, and repeated the same amount in his second.in his third, he made 15 games.

Ndjock signed with Minnesota United on 9 March 2015.
During a friendly match on 21 July 2016 against AFC Bournemouth, Ndjock tried to quickly throw the ball to a team mate, but accidentally let the ball slip and fall into his own goal instead. This was the second goal in the game that Bournemouth eventually won 4-0. A similar incident occurred with Bjarte Flem in 1988.
Ndjock joined Mikkelin Palloilijat for the first time in January 2018 and played for the club until the summer, before he left and moved back to Cameroon. But that didn't go as expected, so he moved back to Finland and signed for the same club again. The deal was announced 24 November 2018.
