Harambee Stars forward Ryan Ogam has achieved a major milestone in his career after sealing a dream transfer to Austrian Bundesliga club Wolfsberger AC. The 20-year-old striker becomes the first Kenyan to feature in Austria’s top flight, marking an important step in his rapidly rising career.
Ogam’s breakthrough came after a remarkable debut season with Tusker FC in Kenya, where he netted 15 goals by mid-season and followed it up with impressive performances at the 2024 CHAN tournament, scoring twice for Kenya. His consistent form caught the attention of Wolfsberger, who were quick to secure his signature as part of their long-term project.
The Austrian club has since revealed the three standout qualities that made Ogam their top target. First is his natural talent, with an instinctive ability to find the back of the net and create chances. Second is his discipline and hard work, both on and off the pitch, which convinced the club he could thrive in a competitive European environment. Finally, Wolfsberger were drawn to his hunger to grow, a quality they believe will see him adapt quickly and excel in the Bundesliga.
The move is not only a personal triumph for Ogam but also a reflection of the growing football talent emerging from Kenya. His signing demonstrates how dedication and consistent performance can open doors to the European stage, inspiring young players back home to pursue their dreams.
Wolfsberger, who finished fourth last season, are pushing for better results this campaign with ambitions of qualifying for European competitions. With Ogam in their ranks, the club is optimistic about adding firepower to their attack as they look to climb higher in the table.
For Ogam, this transfer represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Fans can expect a determined young striker eager to prove himself, deliver goals, and continue raising the profile of Kenyan football abroad.
