He began his career with Giant Brillars in his homeland before moving to SK Vorwärts Steyr in the Austrian second division but failed to make his mark, scoring just two goals in nine games.

He then joined Slovenian outfit NK Krško, where he made eleven appearances and scored four goals.

Ikwuemesi. transferred to his current club last summer and has been one of the first names on the team sheet, playing 32 games in all competitions, 26 of which he started.
