Philip Chidi Onyemah (born 20 February 1984 in Lagos) is a Nigerian footballer who plays for Olympiakos Nicosia in Cyprus, as a forward.

Club career

Onyemah moved to Portugal still in his early teens, beginning his career with amateurs Associação Desportiva Fornos de Algodres. In 2002, he signed with F.C. Porto to finish his formation, appearing on and off for the reserve squad during his single season with the club.

In 2003, Onyemah signed for F.C. Famalicão, appearing in two fourth division seasons with the team, and impressing enough to earn a move straight into the top level with Rio Ave FC. He appeared in 33 games in his first year (four goals), with the Vila do Conde side eventually being relegated.

Onyemah scored another four goals in 2007–08 to help Rio Ave return to the top division. In November 2008, he was on trial with Romanian club FC Timişoara,[1] but nothing came of it.

Onyemah appeared regularly for Rio Ave in the following two seasons (28 starts combined), helping the club consecutive maintain its division status, whilst contributing with three goals combined. In early July 2010, he signed for Olympiakos Nicosia of Cyprus, freshly promoted to the first division.[2]
