Early life
Nsiala was born in Kinshasa in 1992, but moved to Paris with his mother and four siblings when he was three years old.[1] He and his family moved again in 2002, to Liverpool.[2][3] He began his football career playing for youth side Kingsley United in Toxteth,[1] and was recruited by Everton's youth academy in 2007.[2]
Club career
Everton
Nsiala rose through the ranks of Everton's youth system, and featured for the reserve team from 2009 onwards. He was an unused substitute for the Everton first-team in a UEFA Europa League dead rubber against BATE Borisov on 17 December 2009.[4]
On 8 October 2010, Nsiala joined League Two club Macclesfield Town for a one-month-long youth loan,[5] and made his debut the following day in a 2–1 away defeat to Lincoln City.[6] His loan at Macclesfield was extended by a further two months by "Silkmens" boss Gary Simpson,[7] and he made 13 appearances and scored one goal during his stay at Moss Rose.[8] He scored his first goal in senior football on 16 November when he scored the opening goal of a 2–2 draw with Southport in the FA Cup.[9]
He was an unused substitute in the Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Goodison Park on 31 March 2011,[10] and said that "[during] the last few minutes when I was told to get stripped off, I actually nearly wet myself!"[11] In May 2011, he signed a new one-year contract with Everton.[12]
Accrington Stanley
Nsiala was loaned out to League Two club Accrington Stanley on 6 January 2012, signing an initial one-month loan deal,[13] which was later extended until the end of the 2011–12 season.[14]
Released by Everton,[15] he signed for Paul Cook's Accrington Stanley in May 2012 on a one-year deal. He made twenty appearances for Accrington in the 2012–13 season, his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 10 January 2013 after he fell out of new manager Leam Richardson's first team plans.[16]
TDCS Dong Thap
He joined Torquay United on trial in July 2013,[17] but failed to earn a contract. He went on to play for Vietnamese club TDCS Dong Thap in the V.League 2.
Southport
Nsiala signed for Southport in January 2014, in a move that reunited him with John Coleman, his former manager at Accrington.[18] He scored his first goal for the "Sandgrounders" on 15 March, in a 4–1 win over former club Macclesfield Town at Haig Avenue.[19] He ended the 2013–14 season with 19 appearances to his name, helping Southport to finish two points above the relegation zone.
Grimsby Town
On 12 June 2014, Nsiala signed for Conference Premier side Grimsby Town on a one-year contract.[20][21] He made his debut in the 0–0 stalemate to Bristol Rovers on the opening day of the season.[22] He missed just six league games of the 2014–15 season as Paul Hurst's "Mariners" came 3rd in the Conference, and secured a play-off spot.[23] Following an hamstring injury to Josh Gowling, Nsiala reverted to his favored centre-back position in the 2015 Conference Premier play-off Final against Bristol Rovers at Wembley on 17 May 2015; following a 1–1 draw after extra time, Grimsby lost 5–3 in a penalty shoot-out.[24]
On 3 June 2015, Nsiala agreed a new one-year deal with the club.[25] Nsiala's first goal for the club came on 11 August 2015 in the second game of the 2015–16 season, scoring the 4th goal in 4–1 thrashing of Barrow, a scramble in the box and Toto dived into a challenge to flick it home.[26]
Nsiala played in Grimsby's 3–1 victory over Forest Green Rovers in the 2016 National League play-off Final at Wembley, seeing Grimsby promoted to League Two after an six-year absence from the Football League.[27][28]
International career
Eligible to play for DR Congo, England, Scotland and Wales,[29] Nsiala was first called up by Wales to their under-19 training squad in July 2009.[30]
He made his international debut for DR Congo in a qualifier for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations against the Seychelles on 15 June 2012, coming on as a substitute for Diego Kazadi Mutombo in a 3–0 victory.[31]
