Club career

Non-league football

Okimo began his career at Chalfont St. Peter where he made 308 appearances. During his time there, Okimo went on trial at Football League side Gillingham in 2009 but missed out on a contract after injuring his Achilles tendon. After seven years at Chalfont St. Peter, Okimo moved to Isthmian League Premier Division side Wealdstone in the summer of 2013, going on to play an instrumental role in their promotion to the Conference South in 2014, making 38 league appearances.[2]

Stevenage

In August 2014, Okimo followed former Wealdstone teammate Tom Pett (who signed for them in June 2014) to Stevenage, making his debut as an 83rd-minute substitute in a 1–0 win over Hartlepool United on 9 August 2014.[3] Okimo was released after two seasons at the club in May 2016.[4]

Braintree Town

In July 2016, he signed for National League side Braintree Town on a free transfer following his release from Stevenage.[5]
