Mark Obidozie Chukwuemeka Nwokeji (born 30 January 1982) is an English footballer.[2]
Born in Manchester, Nwokeji was the 200 metres All-England Schoolboy champion prior to becoming a footballer.[3] His former clubs include Walton & Hersham, Harlow Town, Leatherhead, Chesham United, Ware, St Albans City and Staines Town. Whilst with Staines on a part-time basis, Nwokeji studied as a law student.[4]
Nwokeji signed for League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge from Isthmian Premier outfit Staines Town, where he was a prolific goalscorer, in May 2008.[5] He scored on his debut for the Daggers on 9 August 2008, in a 6–0 home win against Chester City.[6] He went on to make 20 appearances for Dagenham in all competitions in the 2008–09 season, scoring five times, before suffering a serious knee ligament injury in January 2009 that ruled him out for nine months.
On 12 November 2009, Nwokeji signed for Conference Premier side Luton Town on a two-month loan in order to regain match sharpness after his injury,[7] scoring his first goal for the club in the FA Cup against Rotherham United on 28 November 2009.[8] This was then extended to the end of the season on 13 January 2010, after he impressed Luton manager Richard Money.[9] His loan at the club ended on 7 May 2010.
On 9 June 2010, Nwokeji signed for AFC Wimbledon,[10] subject to scans on a recurrent cruciate ligament injury.[10]
In June 2011, he joined Havant & Waterlooville.[11] However, having failed to secure a first-team spot, making only four appearances, Nwokeji left Havant in September 2011. Later during the 2011–12 season, he rejoined Staines Town. In the summer of 2012, Nwokeji joined Kingstonian.
