Club career

Early career

Born in Nairobi, Ogam attended Unity Primary, Kakamega High School (2019–2021), and Dagoretti High School (2022), where he competed in school football. He played initially as a left-back for local youth sides including Galaxy FC, Sunrise FC, and UEFA Despanol. He also featured in international youth competitions such as the Norway Cup (2017) and a tournament in Italy (2018). [2]

He began his senior career with Rainbow FC in 2022 in the National Super League, scoring five goals for the club before moving to Elite Falcons (UAE) in 2023. He then moved to Tusker in the Kenyan top flight in 2024, scoring 15 goals in 17 games. [1]

Wolfsberger AC

Ogam joined Austrian Bundesliga club Wolfsberger AC on 1 September 2025. [3] He made his debut as a second-half substitute during the 3–1 victory against Grazer AK on 4 October 2025. [4]

Wolfsberger AC II (loan)

He was loaned out to Austrian Regionalliga Central club Wolfsberger AC II in November 2025 and debuted during the 3–1 loss against ASK Voitsberg on 9 November 2025. He scored two goals during the 3–0 victory against USV St. Anna am Aigen on 28 February 2026.

He scored two goals during the 2024 African Nations Championship to hand Kenya identical group stage 1–0 wins over eventual champions Morocco, [7] and Zambia, [8] leading Kenya to the quarter-final stage for the first time in their history. [1]
