After a successful trial with Norwegian clubBodø/Glimt he joined them on initially on loan in 2012.[4] Having moved from Senegal to theArctic Circle, Ndiaye admitted it was a culture shock.—"When I got up on the first day and opened the front door I was terrified. I had never seen snow before, or at least only on TV. Gradually I learned not to care about the weather. If it’s cold, then it’s cold. I have received that attitude from my parents; it’s important to adapt."[5]
He made his debut in a 3–3 draw againstBærum.[4] Before the 2013 season he signed a contract with Bodø/Glimt.[4] He was awarded the Kniksenprisen prize for the best player in theNorwegian First Division 2013 while the team won promotion.[6] Badou became a fan favorite at theAspmyra Stadion and played everyTippeligaen match in2014 asBodø/Glimt successfully avoided relegation.[5]
