Club career

In 2018, he joined CS Longueuil in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec. [4]

In November 2020, N'sa signed with York United, joining his brother Felix who had signed with the club the day before.

[19] After the end of the season, York exercised his club option for the 2022 season. [20] In December 2022, York revealed they could not agree to terms over a new contract, and that N'Sa would be departing the club. [21]

In February 2023, he joined Huntsville City FC in MLS Next Pro. [22] He made his debut on March 26 against Crown Legacy FC. [23] He joined the first team, on a short-term loan, for a US Open Cup match in April, but did not appear in the match. [24] [25]

In January 2024, N'sa signed with Superettan club Östersunds FK on a two-year contract. [26] [27] He departed the club at the end of the 2025 season, having scored two goals in 28 total appearances. [28]
