Mamadou Obbi Oularé (born 8 January 1996) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Lierse Kempenzonen. He is the son of former professional Guinean footballer Souleymane Oularé.[3]
Oularé came through the youth ranks at Lille OSC and signed for Belgian side Club Brugge in 2013.[4] He made his Belgian Pro League debut on 14 September 2014 against K.R.C. Genk. He replaced Nikola Storm after 64 minutes.[5] His first league start came on 21 September 2014 against K.V. Kortrijk, in which he also scored his first league goal in a man of the match performance.[6] On 20 August 2015, while playing for Club Brugge, Oularé tweeted an apology for his lackluster performance coming off the bench against Manchester United in a Champions League playoff game at Old Trafford.[7] Earlier that day, it was widely reported in the Belgian press that Club Brugge's manager Michel Preud'homme had given Oularé a dressing down in front of his teammates in the dressing room after that game.[8]
On 1 September 2015, Oularé signed for Premier League side Watford for an undisclosed fee rumored to be around £6 million on a five-year contract.[9] He made his debut for the club in an FA Cup tie against Newcastle United on 9 January 2016. He was substituted at half time.[10] He made his Premier League debut, against Swansea City in a 1–0 Watford defeat, coming on as a substitute for Valon Behrami in the 87th minute.
On 26 July 2021, Oularé signed a three-year contract with EFL Championship side Barnsley.[11] On 1 February 2022, Oularé returned to his native Belgium by joining Belgian First Division B side RWD Molenbeek on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[12]
On 25 May 2023, Oularé agreed to move to Lierse Kempenzonen on a two-year contract.[13]
