Born in Owerri, Uche played amateur football with his friends in his hometown[2] before receiving an offer from Spanish club Moralo CP in July 2022; he was officially announced by the club in November, and was initially assigned to the reserves in Primera División Extremeña.[3] He made his senior debut with the B's on 20 November, starting in a 2–1 away loss to CP Moraleja, and scored his first goal seven days later in a 4–0 home routing of CF Jaraíz.[4]
Uche made his first team debut for Moralo on 8 January 2023, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–1 Tercera Federación home success over SP Villafranca.[5] He subsequently established himself as a regular starter, as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.
Ceuta
On 15 July 2023, Uche signed for Primera Federación side AD Ceuta FC, being initially assigned to the B-team but making the pre-season with the main squad.[6] However, he did not feature for the B's, and established himself as a key unit in the Caballas; in January 2024, Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo reported that he was a target of Real Betis.[7]
Getafe
On 21 February 2024, it was reported that Uche had agreed to a deal with La Liga side Getafe CF,[8] with Ceuta manager José Juan Romero confirming the transfer two days later.[9] Both clubs officially announced the transfer on 13 June, with the player signing a four-year contract with the Madrid outskirts side.[10][11]
Uche made his professional – and top tier – debut on 15 August 2024, starting as a forward and scoring the equalizer in a 1–1 away draw against Athletic Bilbao.[12][13]
