Early life

Ochieng's father played international football for Kenya. After growing up in Nairobi, the family moved to Plympton, South Australia when Ochieng was nine, where his father worked as an electrician.[3]

Club career

Adelaide United

He made his senior professional debut for Adelaide United FC in the 2014 FFA Cup in a match against Wellington Phoenix FC at the Marden Sports Complex on 5 August 2014.[4] Adelaide won the match 1–0 in regulation time.

On 12 January 2017, Ochieng scored his first goal for Adelaide against Melbourne City, the 87th-minute strike helping Adelaide United to just their second win of the season.

Ochieng was released by Adelaide United in May 2018.[5]

gollark: If you're close enough to look, CRASH.
