Club career[]
Ohale played for Houston Dash in the National Women's Soccer League throughout the 2014 season before returning home to Nigeria with Rivers Angels.[4][5]

On 30 July 2020, Ohale signed for A.S. Roma Women, the Nigeria international parted ways with Spanish side CD Tacon (now renamed Real Madrid), last month (June, 2020) after the expiration of her contract with the Primera Iberdrola outfit. She joined the Serie A Women's League outfit on a one-year deal for an undisclosed fee. Reacting to her historic move, Ohale told the club website:[8] "I chose Roma because of so many things; so many amazing things about the club, about this city and this country that interested me". "I felt like it would be a great thing for me, to explore and to experience new things and a new challenge".[9]
