Njanka played for Cameroon at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups and the 2004 African Nations Cup. He has been capped 47 times for his country. He scored a goal against Austria in the 1998 World Cup, for which the commentator said he "tore through the heart of the Austrian defence" before placing the ball in the top corner of the net.5.

Njanka previously played for RC Strasbourg, CS Sedan and FC Istres in the French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. While at Strasbourg, Njanka played in the 2001 Coupe de France Final, in which they beat Amiens SC on penalties.[1] He had a trial with English Premier League side Sunderland in July 2000, playing in a pre-season match between Sunderland and KV Mechelen.[2] He was also set to join Portsmouth in 2001, but a knee injury ended the move prematurely.[3] [4]
