Kevin Onyekachi Amuneke (born 10 May 1986 in Eze Obodo) is a Nigerian footballer who plays for Borstahusens BK in Sweden, as a forward.

He spent his professional career playing in several countries in Europe, namely in Portugal.

Club career

After playing in his youths with S.L. Benfica and F.C. Porto, appearing for the former only with the junior team, Amuneke started his professional career in Sweden with Landskrona BoIS (where he played alongside brother Kingsley) and, after two years, returned to Portugal, appearing for Vitória de Setúbal in the top division.

On 21 May 2007, Amuneke agreed to join PFC CSKA Sofia, moving to Bulgaria for about €400,000. However, he returned to Sweden in December of the same year, to play for IFK Norrköping in the top division. The transfer fee was this time reported as €300,000.

After a brief stint in Romania with FC Politehnica Timişoara, Amuneke moved back to Portugal, signing with Madeira's C.D. Nacional in early July 2009. Not having been used at all during the first part of 2010–11, he was released by the club, resuming his career in Swedish amateur football.

International career

Amuneke won two caps for Nigeria, both during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, featuring against Rwanda and Angola in June 2005.
