Alfred John Momar N'Diaye (born 6 March 1990) is a professional footballer who most recently played for FC Noah as a defensive midfielder, who can also play as a centre back. [3] [4] Born in France, he played for the Senegal national team.
Born in Paris, France, N'Diaye began his career with US Vandœuvre in Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy. At the age of 14, he moved across the arrondissement to join the biggest club in the region, AS Nancy. Upon arrival, Alfred endured early struggles, but quickly gained noticed following his second season at the academy. In 2006, he signed his first professional contract.
N'Diaye made his debut in the squad during the 2007–08 season in the Coupe de la Ligue, at the age of 17, coming on as a halftime substitute for Frédéric Biancalani in a 3–0 loss to Lens.

Following the season, N'Diaye earned promotion to the senior squad for the 2008–09 season. He was assigned the number 29 shirt and made his league debut in the opening match of the season against Lille appearing as a substitute in a 0–0 draw. [6] Two months later, he earned his first league start in a 1–1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain. [7] His positive play earned him regular starts in the squad, including playing the full 90 minutes in the club's 3–0 upset victory over Olympique de Marseille at the Stade Vélodrome [8] and playing, on two occasions, 120 minutes of football in cup play against Grenoble in the Coupe de la Ligue and SO Romorantin in the Coupe de France.

[27] He scored his first goal for the club on 23 September 2017 in a 2–1 win against Barnsley after coming on as a substitute. [28]
