Owen Eric Damilola Oseni (born 7 May 2003) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership side St Mirren.

Career

Oseni began his career in Ireland with Villa FC, before entering the youth sector of Waterford, as part of the WWETB FAI Player Development course. Having come through the club's youth ranks, he made his senior debut for Waterford during the 2022 season.

In February 2023, Oseni joined Derby County's academy. After loan spells at Nuneaton Borough and Rushall Olympic, he was released by Derby County at the end of the 2023–24 season.

On 1 July 2024, Oseni joined National League side Gateshead on a permanent deal, signing a two-year contract. On 10 August 2024, he scored on his competitive debut for the club in a 5–1 win over Ebbsfleet United in the National League. During the first part of the 2024–25 season, he scored a total amount of 13 goals in 28 appearances for Gateshead.

On 1 January 2025, Oseni joined Scottish Premiership side St Mirren for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £120,000, agreeing to a three-and-a-half year contract in the process. He was immediately included into St Mirren's match-day squad for their away league fixture against Kilmarnock on 2 January, and made his debut as a second-half substitute in the same match, which ended in a 2–0 defeat.

Personal life

Born in Ireland, Oseni reportedly has dual citizenship of both Ireland and Nigeria.
