Job Nguono Ochieng (born 17 January 2003) is a Kenyan footballer who plays as a forward for Real Sociedad B.
As a youth player, Ochieng joined the youth academy of Spanish side Maspalomas. Altogether, he played for the club for three seasons, before trialing for Spanish side Las Palmas. [1] In 2022, he signed for Spanish side Real Sociedad C, the third team of La Liga side Real Sociedad. On 26 February 23, he debuted for them during a 1–0 home win over Alavés B in the league. One year later, he was promoted to Real Sociedad B, the club's reserve team.
Ochieng can play as a forward or as a winger. Spanish newspaper La Provincia described him as a "fast forward, with goal-scoring skills, good ball handling with both legs and good dribbling.
