Jean-Paul Pierre Emmanuel Marc N'Djoli (born 9 October 2000) is a French-Congolese footballer who plays as a forward for side Heracles Almelo.
Club career Early years N'Djoli began his football career at Évreux FC 27, playing in the fourth tier of French football. In July 2021, he joined Rayo Vallecano, where he was offered a two-year contract and assigned to their B-team. Although he played during the pre-season, the club president refused to approve his contract, instead wanting him to sign a second agreement with very poor terms. Along with five other players from the B-team and the youth squad, N'Djoli lived in appalling conditions and went unpaid. The Spanish players' union intervened, and he left the club after two months.
Spanish lower leagues In November 2021, Spanish side Hércules CF announced the signing of N'Djoli. While there, in March 2022, he was subjected to racist abuse by an opponent during a match between Hércules CF B and Torrent CF in the Tercera Federación.
From October 2022, he played 31 matches in the fourth tier of Spanish football.
In January 2024, N'Djoli was loaned to CD Alcoyano. That same month, he returned, only to be loaned out again to Atlético Saguntino for the remainder of the season. At the end of the season, Badalona Futur signed N'Djoli on a free transfer in August 2024. During his six months there, he only received one month of his salary.
Switzerland After three and a half years in Spain, N'Djoli moved to Switzerland in February 2025, signing with FC Langenthal, a club competing in the fourth tier of the Swiss football pyramid. At the end of the 2024/25 season, he moved up a level to join SC Brühl. The Frenchman scored twelve goals in sixteen appearances there, prompting FC Wil, a club playing in the second tier, to sign him. He signed his first professional contract with the club at the age of 25.
Heracles Almelo In the summer of 2026, N'Djoli moved to Heracles Almelo, where he signed a contract for two seasons, with an option to extend for two extra years. He made his debut in the Eerste Divisie on August 7, in an away match against VVV-Venlo. Coach Vincent Heilmann named him in the starting lineup, and with two goals and an assist, he helped Heracles secure a 3–4 victory. He also scored twice in each of the subsequent victories over FC Den Bosch (3–2) and Jong FC Utrecht (1–6). N'Djoli did not score against FC Eindhoven (a 3–1 win), but in the match after that, he scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 victory over De Graafschap.
