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]
