Career

Although born in Zaire, N'Toya got his start in football playing in the youth team of French Ligue 1 club Troyes AC. He soon relocated as English club Chesterfield signed the young striker.

At Chesterfield, N'Toya played 48 games and scored 8 goals, before the club loaned him out in 2006; first to York City and then Oxford United, the latter of which he had an impressive record, scoring 4 goals in 8 games.[ citation needed ]

He was signed by Notts County in the summer of 2006 on a free transfer. [1] Upon signing him, County manager Steve Thompson tipped N'Toya to shine stating; "He is an untapped talent and there is more to come from Tcham. He has outstanding pace and strength and is also a willing learner which is the main thing." [2] N'Toya was released by Notts County at the end of the 2006–07 season on 8 May 2007. [3] Despite scoring the winner in a League Cup match against Premier League side Middlesbrough, [4] he only scored one league goal, coming against Bury. [5]

He went on trial at Scottish Premier League side St Mirren in August, [6] but failed to win a contract. He later joined the Israeli Premier League side Maccabi Herzliya [ citation needed ] and now he plays for Maccabi Ahi Nazareth.

Tcham N'toya now coaches the senior team at Fc Aubinois, a Regional 3 team in the Brittany League, France.
