Career

Born in Deptford, south London, Ngakia had a trial with Chelsea’s academy before joining West Ham United at the age of 14 after being scouted by West Ham academy goalkeeping coach Jerome John whilst playing for Surrey Quays-based youth club Ballers Football Academy.[2][3] Ngakia made his under-18 debut for West Ham during the 2016–17 season, making his under-23 debut in February 2018.[4] On 29 January 2020, Ngakia made his debut for West Ham in a 2–0 Premier League loss against Liverpool.[5]

In June 2020, with his contract due to finish at the end of the month, Ngakia turned down the offer of an extension leaving him available on a free transfer when his current contract ends.[6] West Ham later confirmed his departure at the end of June 2020.[7]
