Career

Born in Netherlands, N'Mai began playing football at an early age, and was scouted by Ajax. [2] After moving to the United Kingdom with his family, he had trials for both Manchester United and Manchester City, before joining Salford City in 2020. [2] N'Mai made his professional debut on 28 August 2021, coming on as an 85th minute substitute for Conor McAleny in Salford's 3–0 EFL League Two win against Newport County, their first win of the season. [3] He started his first game for the club in an away fixture against Scunthorpe United in November, and signed his first professional contract the same month, a deal lasting until 2023. [2]

On 29 September 2022, N'Mai joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Warrington Rylands on an initial one-month loan deal. [4] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 defeat to Lancaster City on 11 October, [5] and on 26 November scored a brace to secure a comeback victory against Stalybridge Celtic, coming on as a substitute to turn the game around for Rylands, [6] securing the clubs' first away win in two months. [7] In January 2023, N'Mai's loan was extended further. [8] In March, N'Mai stepped up a division when he was loaned to National League North team Chester until the end of the season. [9] In May, he featured as a trialist for the academy of Manchester United in a fixture at the Trafford Training Centre against Leicester City's academy. [10]

Following injuries to Connor McLennan, Conor McAleny, and Luke Bolton at the beginning of the 2023–24 season, N'Mai was selected to start in a 2–1 home win against Newport, with his performance being recognised with the Man of the Match award. [11]
