Kenyan striker Ryan Wesley Ogam has landed in Vienna, Austria, to complete his highly anticipated transfer to Austrian Bundesliga side Wolfsberger AC. The young forward is expected to sign his contract after final formalities, marking a significant step in his football career and another milestone for Kenyan football exports to Europe.
Ogam’s move has been shaped by an impressive blend of talent, resilience, and consistency. His sharp scoring record at Tusker FC and standout performances during the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) helped put him on the European radar. Despite suffering a knee injury that required surgery earlier in 2025, Ogam’s successful recovery and return to form reinforced his reputation as a player with determination and mental strength.
During the 2024/25 FKF Premier League season, Ogam demonstrated remarkable goal-scoring prowess, netting 15 goals in just 17 appearances. Initially starting his career as a midfielder, he was later converted into a striker under the guidance of Tusker FC’s coaching staff. The transformation unlocked his natural instincts in front of goal, making him one of Kenya’s most promising attacking talents.
Wolfsberger AC sees Ogam as a key addition to their squad, with the club’s leadership highlighting his raw talent, discipline, and hunger for growth. For the Austrian side, he represents both an immediate attacking option and a long-term project who could develop into a prolific striker in Europe.
Tusker FC, meanwhile, takes pride in Ogam’s progress, viewing his move as a testament to the growing recognition of Kenyan players abroad. The transfer not only elevates Ogam’s career but also shines a spotlight on the Kenyan league as a breeding ground for talent capable of competing on international stages.
While specific details regarding Ogam’s contract length, salary, and performance bonuses remain undisclosed, the move itself speaks volumes about his potential and the belief Wolfsberger AC has in him. For Ogam, the challenge now shifts to proving himself in Europe against tougher opposition, a test that could open further doors in his career.
Born on 21 December 2004 in Nairobi, Ogam now steps onto a new chapter, carrying with him the hopes of Kenyan fans eager to see one of their own succeed on European soil.
