Promise Osazee Omochere (born 18 October 2000) is an Irish professional football player who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Bristol Rovers.[3]

Career

Bohemians

Omochere joined the Bohemians senior team in 2018 after spending time with their academy. He scored his first league goal for the club in May 2021 in a 5–1 victory against Dundalk.[4]

In March 2022, Republic of Ireland U21 manager Jim Crawford revealed that he had been contacted by a number of clubs in England regarding Omochere.[5]

Fleetwood Town

On 21 July 2022, Omochere joined League One club Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.[6] He made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 2022–23 season in a 2–1 defeat to Port Vale,[7] having to be substituted off due to a fractured eye socket suffered in an aerial duel.[8] It took Omochere until the 1 January 2023, his eighteenth game in all competitions, to open his account for the club, scoring the second in a 3–0 victory over Shrewsbury Town.[9]

Bristol Rovers

On 19 July 2024, Omochere returned to League One following Fleetwood Town's relegation, joining Bristol Rovers on a three-year deal with the option for a further season.[10][11] Although the fee remained undisclosed, it was widely reported to be in the region of £500,000, making him a club-record signing for Rovers who had fought off competition from Barnsley and Wrexham for his signature.[12][13] Having made his debut on the opening day of the season,[14] he opened his goalscoring account for the club in his fifth appearance, scoring both goals in a 2–0 victory over Cambridge United.[15]

Personal life

Omochere studied business and law at Maynooth University.[16]
