Bridge Ndilu (born 21 July 2000) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Nantes.

Professional career

Bridge Ndilu played for Stade Lavallois from 2017 to 2019, turning professional in 2018.[1] There he gained much game time in France's Championnat National[2] raising the attention of clubs such as Juventus[3] with a potential 4 millions euros transfer fee.[4] But he eventually was transferred to FC Nantes on the 24 June 2019.[5]

Bridge Ndilu made his professional debut for Nantes in a 2–0 Coupe de France win over Aviron Bayonnais on 4 January 2020.[6]

Although his emergence in the professional team is tempered by the arrival of forwards such as Renaud Emond, his manager Christian Gourcuff stays confident that Ndilu will eventually make his way to the Ligue 1 first team.[7]

International career

Ndilu represented the France U19s at the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[8]
