Mark Ochieng is a Kenyan-Australian professional footballer who plays as a right back for Adelaide Olympic in the National Premier Leagues South Australia.

Early life[edit]

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[edit]

Adelaide United[edit]

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]
