Club career
Youth years
An attacking midfielder, Onen began his career in the Arsenal academy,[2] before joining Crystal Palace on a scholarship deal in 2017.[3] He remained at Selhurst Park until December 2017, when he joined the Brighton & Hove Albion academy as a scholar.[4] Onen made one EFL Trophy appearance for Albion's U21 team during the 2018–19 season,[5] before his release in December 2018.[6]
Brentford
On 17 December 2018, Onen transferred to the B team at Championship club Brentford and signed an 18-month contract.[6] He made 30 appearances and scored three goals for the B team prior to his release at the end of the 2019–20 season.[7] A one-month loan at National League club Bromley in late 2019 yielded just one injury time substitute appearance.[2][8][9]
Reading
On 6 November 2020, after a successful trial period,[10] Onen joined the U23 team at Championship club Reading on a contract running until the end of the 2020–21 season.[11] During the remainder of the season, he was an unused substitute for the first team on 16 occasions and made two appearances prior to the expiration of his contract.[2][12]
Sheffield Wednesday
Following a trial spell, Onen signed a contract running until the end of the 2021–22 season with the U23 team at League One club Sheffield Wednesday.[13][14] He failed to win a call into a first team matchday squad and was released when his contract expired.[2][14]
Forward Madison
On 17 January 2023, Onen signed a contract to play the 2023 season with USL League One club Forward Madison.[15] He made 27 appearances and scored four goals during a 2023 season which concluded with a quarter-final playoff defeat.[2][16] Onen's performances were recognised with a nomination for the USL League One Young Player of the Year award.[17] He departed the club in January 2024.[18]
Lexington SC
On 4 January 2023, Onen joined fellow USL League One club Lexington SC on a free transfer.[18]
International career
Onen was called up to the Uganda squad for two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in March 2020, which were later postponed.[19] He participated in a training camp in Dubai in October 2020.[20]
Personal life
Onen is of Ugandan descent.[11] In July 2020, it was reported that FUFA were trying to arrange dual-citizenship with Uganda for Onen.[21]
