Eze made his first team debut with Oviedo on 26 April 2025, coming on as a second-half substitute for Dani Calvo in a 1–0 Segunda División home win over Levante UD.[4] On 14 July, he was loaned to Primera Federación side Real Avilés Industrial CF for the season.[5]
Upon returning, Eze renewed his link with the Carbayones until 2029 on 16 August 2026,[6] and was loaned to Villarreal CF B also in the third division the following day.[7]
