Club Career[edit]
Oduenyi started his career at Emmanuel Amuneke academy, located in Lagos.
LASK
In August 2018, Oduenyi left the shores of Nigeria and signed with Austrian Bundesliga club LASK. He penned two-year deal with the Austrian club but was loaned to a Second division club NK Sesvete in Croatia.
In October 2018 he made his debut for Sesvete in the 2nd HNL when he came on as a substitute for Mario Vasilj in the 60th minute against NK BSK Bijelo Brdo on matchday eight of the 2018/19 season. The loan ended during the winter break of that season and Oduenyi was on loan to the Austrian second division club SV Horn in January 2019.
He made his debut in the second division in February 2019, when he was in the starting line-up against FC Liefering on matchday 16 of that season and was replaced by Kelvin Arase in the 58th minute.
In September 2019, Oduenyi signed permanently with another Austrian club SV Reid in the second division. He was part of the team success to gain promotion to the Austrian Bundesliga (Top League) in 2020. He was released after his contract expiration.[1]
In January 2021, Oduenyi signed for FC Minaj to join Ukraine Premier league team as a free player and was handed a famous No. 9 jersey.[2] Few days after signing a contract with Minaj, Oduenyi has taken very little time to show his goals power after he produced a screamer for new Ukrainian club in a pre-season match against Olimpik Donetsk in Turkey.[3] On February 13, 2020, Oduenyi impresses on debut in Ukraine[4]
