Club career
Born in Dedza, Ngalande began his career with Civo United. He later joined the youth team of Spanish club Atlético Madrid in September 2010, joining from the youth ranks of South African club Mamelodi Sundowns. Ngalande had been offered contracts by sixteen other European clubs.

On 10 July 2014, Ngalande signed a season-long loan deal with Ajax Cape Town. In July 2015 he moved on loan again, this time to Platinum Stars. In December 2015 his performances for the club were criticised. After returning from his loan at the end of the season, he was said to be considering his options.
Ngalande was released by Bidvest in September 2016. After a spell with Masters Security, he signed for Baroka in July 2017, but terminated his contract with them in May 2018.
In January 2019 Ngalande signed for Azerbaijani club Zira.
On 10 June 2019, Ngalande signed a new two-year contract with Zira. On 27 January 2020, Ngalande was released by Zira.
He signed for Ethiopian club Saint George for the 2020–21 season. After his two-year contract expired, he returned to Malawi, signing for Mighty Wanderers in September 2022.
International career
He made his senior international debut for Malawi in 2012. At the youth level he played in the 2009 African U-17 Championship, scoring a brace in their 5–0 win over Zimbabwe national under-17 football team.
