Career

edit

N'Koyi has played club football in the Netherlands for FC Eindhoven and Fortuna Sittard.[2] In January 2014, he and his teammate Gevaro Nepomuceno had signed pre-contracts with Liga I club Petrolul Ploiești, as they entered their last six months of their spells at Fortuna. They joined Petrolul at the start of the 2014–15 season.[3] He then moved to Rapid București in August 2015,[4] leaving the club at the end of the 2015–16 season.[5] He returned to the Netherlands with MVV Maastricht in July 2016,[6] before signing for Thai club Sukhothai in June 2017.[7] However, shortly after joining the club, N'Koyi moved on, subsequently signing with Scottish Championship side Dundee United on 30 June 2017.[8]

N'Koyi's time with United was short lived, with the striker leaving the club in December 2017. He made 14 appearances in all competitions, with the majority coming as a substitute.[9] He managed to score 3 goals during his time at United, all of which came in the Scottish Challenge Cup.[10]

After a spell with TOP Oss, he signed for Icelandic club Grindavík in January 2019.[11] In the summer 2019, he moved to Belgian club KSK Hasselt.[12]
