Along with colleague James Amankwei, Uche joined Enyimba International in January 2012. On April 28, 2013, in a 2-0 victory over Dolphins, he made his club debut, coming on as a second-half substitute.

On January 31, 2019, he agreed to a six-month loan with a buyout at Rayo Vallecano, and on January 31, he made his way back to Spain’s top level.
