Career[]

Uzoma was born in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. He began his professional career with SC Freiburg. His first real impact in the German football world came when he scored a goal against 1. FC Köln on 26 September 2007, in only his fourth match. This goal was voted goal of the week on German football show Sportschau and was nominated for goal of the month. In 2009, he helped SC Freiburg earn promotion to the Bundesliga.[2] On 24 October 2009, he made his first appearance in the Bundesliga for Freiburg and became the 5,000th player in the history of the Bundesliga.[3]

On 1 January 2010, he was loaned to TSV 1860 Munich and he transferred eventually to 1860 Munich in summer 2010.[4]

After playing the first half of the 2015–16 season in the Serbian SuperLiga with FK Spartak Subotica, in the winter-break he returned to Germany, this time by signing with Chemnitzer FC.[4]
