Osaze Urhoghide, born on 4th July 2000 in the Netherlands, is known for his adeptness as a central defender. For the last couple of seasons, the 24-year-old lanky football player, measuring 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing 12st 8lb (80kg), has been impressing fans with his performance on the field for Amiens. In the matches, number 5 written across his back has become a familiar sight for the spectators.
Urhoghide developed his skills as a player during his early years as a trainee at AFC Wimbledon, a football club in England's League Two. The month of July 2017 marked the beginning of this association.
In July 2019, however, it was time for a shift, and Urhoghide moved from AFC Wimbledon to Sheffield Wednesday, a club that competes in the English Championship league. His debut season (2019-2020) with Sheffield Wednesday witnessed Urhoghide making three first-team appearances in league games, a number which rose to 16 in the follow-up 2020-2021 season.
July seems to bring crucial changes in Urhoghide's career, as in 2021, he transferred from Sheffield Wednesday to Celtic, a Premiership club in Scotland. The financial terms for this move were undisclosed.
Six months into his tenure at Celtic, he was loaned out to Oostende, a football club in Belgium's Derde Klasse, in January 2022. He made 7 first-team appearances for Oostende in the 2021-2022 season, followed by an impressive 27 appearances in the 2022-2023 season.
In what would prove to be the final chapter of his Celtic narrative, Urhoghide officially transferred from Celtic to Amiens, a football club competing in France's Ligue 2, in July 2023. He made 18 first-team appearances in his initial 2023-2024 season with Amiens, and has so far made 17 appearances, including a couple of goals, in the ongoing 2024-2025 season.
The many moves of Urhoghide's career lend credence to the notion that football isn't merely a game, but a journey.
