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] Having suffered a hamstring injury in a New Year's Day defeat to Leyton Orient, he was once again ruled out for an expected period of three months. [17] Following a short return to first-team action in early March, he was forced off once again with a hamstring injury just eight minutes into his first start, [18] missing the remainder of the season as the Gas were relegated. [19]

During the early stages of the 2025–26 season, Omochere found himself being utilised out wide as opposed to through the middle as he had been during his first season with the club, achieving a career first of playing ninety minutes in five consecutive matches. [20]

Personal life

Omochere studied business and law at Maynooth University. [21]
