Chiedozie Ogbene was a loan player from Brentford during the 2018/19 season. He later moved to Rotherham and played for the Republic of Ireland before moving into the Premier League with Luton Town and later Ipswich Town.  

Chiedozie grew up in Cork and played Gaelic football for Nemo Rangers and soccer for Tramore Athletic before signing for League of Ireland Cork City in 2015. After winning the FAI Cup with Cork in 2016, he joined Limerick in 2017 and later Brentford on a three-and-a-half year contract in January 2018. Having made his Bees debut in April 2018 he was loaned to Exeter in August 2018.

Making his debut for the Grecians as a substitute against Lincoln City on 1 September 2018, Chiedozie played eighteen games (14 league, 4 EFL Trophy) before returning to Brentford in January 2019.

In August 2019, after nine substitute appearances for Brentford, Chiedozie joined Rotherham United on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee. He was a member of the Rotherham side relegated from the Championship in 2021 and played regularly in the team which was promoted from League One in 2022. He also scored in Rotherham’s 4-2 victory over Sutton United in the EFL Trophy final at Wembley in April 2022 (Donovan Wilson, another former Grecian loanee, scoring in the same game). 

Chiedozie made his international debut for Ireland on 8 June 2021 against Hungary and scored his first international goal on the 9 October 2021 against Azerbaijan in a World Cup qualifier.
