Ifeanyi Eze ⓘ (Igbo: [í.fɛ́.ā.ɲí ɛ́.zè];[1] born 7 May 1999) is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a forward for A-League club Wellington Phoenix.
Al-Karkh SC
In the 2024–25 season, Eze scored 15 goals in 34 league appearances for Al-Karkh SC of the Iraq Stars League.[2][3]
Wellington Phoenix
In July 2025, Eze signed for A-League Men club Wellington Phoenix on a 1-year contract.[2][3] Eze made his club debut on 10 August 2025, in a 1–0 win away to Nunawading City in the round of 16 of the Australia Cup.[4] In the opening round of the 2025–26 A-League Men season, Eze made his league debut and scored his debut goal for the Phoenix in a 2–2 draw with Perth Glory ay HBF Park on 18 October 2025.[5] Eze made his New Zealand Derby debut at Sky Stadium in a 2–1 loss to Auckland FC, scoring Phoenix's equaliser in the 9th minute. Eze finished his debut A-League Men season with 10 goals and one assist in 25 matches,[6] finishing second in the Golden Boot standings behind Sam Cosgrove and Luka Jovanović.[7] On 28 April, Wellington Phoenix confirmed they expected Eze to depart the club for an overseas move, with director of football Shaun Gill stating the club were unlikely to match the offers being made for the Nigerian forward. "We won’t be able to compete with what’s coming for him, but both parties have kept the door open should things not be where he wants them in the next weeks, months," Gill said.[8]
