His skills were honed at the esteemed Gor Mahia Youth system where he played alongside other budding talents like Geoffrey Ojung’a and Lloyd Kavuchi.
However, it was at Kariobangi Sharks where his capabilities truly began to shine, setting him on the path to international recognition.

Since joining Dhofar, Omija has become a key player, contributing significantly both defensively and offensively.

Omija made his debut for the Kenya national team in a World Cup qualifier against Ivory Coast on June 11, 2024, delivering a standout performance.
His football idols include world-class defenders like Kalidou Koulibaly, whose style and discipline he seeks to emulate.
