Oliech turned professional in 2003 playing for Al-Arabi in Qatar until late 2005.

2004

In 2004, he was offered a chance to change his citizenship from Kenyan to Qatari.

But he refused the offer.

At age nineteen, Oliech was named by The Guardian newspaper as one of the world's most promising young players in a list which included future stars such as Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie.

While at Qatar, Oliech played alongside Stefan Effenberg and Gabriel Batistuta during their time at Qatar.

2005

In 2005, Al-Arabi turned down a Sh100m offer from Monaco to sign Oliech.

During the same year, Al-Arabi was told to pay US$15,000 compensation to his youth club by the Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), as the move to sign Oliech.

His goalscoring form is well known for goal poacher.

While at Qatar, Oliech played alongside Stefan Effenberg and Gabriel Batistuta during their time at Qatar.

In 2005, Al-Arabi turned down a Sh100m offer from Monaco to sign Oliech.

During the same year, Al-Arabi was told to pay US$15,000 compensation to his youth club by the Fifa's Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), as the move to sign Oliech.

His goalscoring form is well known for goal poacher.

In 2005, Oliech signed a four-year contract with the French Ligue 1 team Nantes, with a fee of $3.7 million (KSh.281.2 million/=).

Upon the move in January, Oliech was given a number nine shirt.

However, his youth club Mathare United claims Nantes owed them Sh14m, but the claims were dismissed.

Shortly after signing for Nantes, Oliech hadn't made a great start in France after a knee operation.

Then, thirty days later, he was given all-clear by the doctors and returned to training.

Later in the 2005–06 season, Oliech made nine appearances and scoring twice.

2006

He made his debut, on 11 March 2006, when he came on for Julio Hernán Rossi, in the 66th minute, as Nante drew 1–1 with Lille.

Three weeks later, on 1 April 2006, Oliech scored his first goal, in the round of 16 in the Coupe de France to send them to the quarter-final, in a 1–0 win over Dijon.

and his second goal was followed up in the league match, in a 3–1 loss against Marseille.

In the 2006–07 season, Oliech scored four times in thirty-two appearances and the season was proved to be difficult for him, as he soon lost his first team place.

Despite lack of first team opportunities and linked with a Premier League club, Oliech says he is happy at the club.

2007

However, FC Nantes were relegated in 2007 after finishing bottom of Ligue 1.

In the summer transfer window, Oliech was signed on loan by Auxerre who were in need of goals after a bad start to their season.

After two months absent, Oliech finally made his debut, in a 5–3 win over Lorient.

After making ten appearances so far in the 2007–08 season, Auxerre signed him on a permanent basis from Nantes in January and keeping him until 2011.

Later in the 2007/2008 season, Oliech scored three goals in 24 games, including a brace against Rennes.

2008

He endured what were considered below-average seasons by most in the 2008–09 (scoring three goals in thirty three appearances in all competitions) and 2009–10 season (scoring four goals in thirty seven appearances in all competitions), as his form dropped badly, due to him making several match deciding errors and misjudgments.

2010

Then, in the 2010–11 season, Oliech received more confidence by Manager Jean Fernandez, who gave him more playing time.

On 25 September 2010, Oliech scored twice in a 2–2 draw against Rennes.

After featuring twice in the Champions League so far, Oliech was sent-off after receiving a second yellow card, in a 2–1 loss against Ajax in Matchday Three in the Champions League Group-Stage.

2016

As a member of the Kenya national team, he became his nation's second all-time goalscorer, behind William "Chege" Ouma (35 goals), with 34 goals before retiring from international football in 2016.

Oliech started playing football for Dagoretti Santos in his earlier years, then Mathare United.

While in his youth career, Oliech went on trial with Ligue 1 side Marseille, but Mathare United chairman Bob Munro blocked the move from happening.

During Oliech's career with Al-Arabi in Qatar, Oliech was playing under a different middle-east name.

At one point he said he even forgot the name and had to be reminded that it was his name.
