Career
In his homeland, Eze played with Ajiya Babes and Zamfara United, before moving to Ivorian club Africa Sports in 2011. He won the national championship in his first season with the club. Subsequently, Eze appeared for Africa Sports in the 2012 CAF Champions League qualification stage.
In the summer of 2013, Eze moved to Serbia and signed with SuperLiga side Rad. He was transferred to another top league club Napredak Kruševac in the 2014 winter transfer window, failing to make an impact with both clubs. In the summer of 2014, Eze signed with newly promoted Mladost Lučani.[1] He scored a hat-trick in a 3–2 home league victory over Spartak Subotica on 7 March 2015.[2] Eventually, Eze finished the season as the league's top scorer with 15 goals.
In July 2015, Eze moved to the United Arab Emirates and signed with Al-Fujairah.[3] He was the team's top scorer in the 2015–16 season, netting 14 goals from 24 league appearances, as the club suffered relegation from the UAE Arabian Gulf League. In July 2016, Eze was sent on a season-long loan to Saudi club Al-Qadisiyah.[4]
