Career

Bohemians

Omochere joined the Bohemians senior team in 2018 after spending time with their academy. He scored his first league goal for the club in May 2021 in a 5–1 victory against Dundalk. [4]

In March 2022, Republic of Ireland U21 manager Jim Crawford revealed that he had been contacted by a number of clubs in England regarding Omochere. [5]

Fleetwood Town

On 21 July 2022, Omochere joined League One club Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal. [6] He made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 2022–23 season in a 2–1 defeat to Port Vale, [7] having to be substituted off due to a fractured eye socket suffered in an aerial duel. [8] It took Omochere until the 1 January 2023, his eighteenth game in all competitions, to open his account for the club, scoring the second in a 3–0 victory over Shrewsbury Town. [9]

Bristol Rovers

On 19 July 2024, Omochere returned to League One following Fleetwood Town's relegation, joining Bristol Rovers on a three-year deal with the option for a further season. [10] [11] Although the fee remained undisclosed, it was widely reported to be in the region of £500,000, making him a club-record signing for Rovers who had fought off competition from Barnsley and Wrexham for his signature. [12] [13] Having made his debut on the opening day of the season, [14] he opened his goalscoring account for the club in his fifth appearance, scoring both goals in a 2–0 victory over Cambridge United. [15] Following a spell out of the first-team due to a number of different injuries, Omochere scored a third goal for the club with a late equaliser against Wrexham on 21 December 2024. [16]

Personal life

Omochere studied business and law at Maynooth University. [17]
