Ndagano Junior (born 25 October 1985) is a Rwandan-born Belgian football player who is currently out of contract.

Ndagano is a versatile left-sided forward or defender. He began his career at youth level with K.V. Turnhout before being signed by K.R.C. Genk as a 16-year-old. After two seasons at Genk he moved to KV Mechelen but did not managed to break into the first team. [1] Since then he has played for a range of European clubs, including a spell with Paris FC, his most consistent period coming with Dessel Sport in the second division.

In 2011 Ndagano Junior was selected as part of a group of European players with Rwandan heritage to make a friendly tour of Rwanda. [2] [3] This led to him eventually being called up to the Rwandan National team. [4]
