On 18 November 2006, against Sparta Rotterdam, Ntibazonkiza played his first game in the Eredivisie.[3] After receiving a Dutch residence permit, Ntibazonkiza signed a contract binding him to NEC until the summer of 2009. He also signed another contract extension until 2012 in January 2009.[4]
On 10 February 2017, Ntibazonkiza signed for Kazakhstan Premier League club Kaysar Kyzylorda.[5]
After being released by Kaysar Kyzylorda, Ntibazonkiza returned to his first club, Burundian side Vital'O.[6]
