He previously played for Kiambu's Euronuts, National Youth Talent Academy (NYTA) in 2011, FC Talanta between 2012 and 2016, and Wazito F.C. from 2016 before joining Nairobi City Stars in late 2020[1] [2] as a replacement to departing Levis Opiyo.
After two seasons, Njunge extended his contract for one more season[3] to feature[4] for the club in 2022/23 Premier League season. At the end of the 2022–23 Kenyan Premier League, Njunge left City Stars to join promotion-chasing Mathare United.[5]
