Bridge Ndilu (born 21 July 2000) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Nantes.
Club career
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 million transfer fee.[4] But he eventually was transferred to FC Nantes on 24 June 2019.[5]
Ndilu made his professional debut for Nantes in a 2–0 Coupe de France win over Aviron Bayonnais on 4 January 2020.[6]
Although Ndilu's emergence in the professional team was tempered by the arrival of forwards such as Renaud Emond, his manager Christian Gourcuff in January 2020 expressed confidence that Ndilu would 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]
