Youth career

Omae was born in Osaka in Japan. In his youth, he played for Sessel Kumatori SC alongside players such as Takumi Minamino.[4] He also played high school football for Higashiyama High School in Kyoto.[5][6] Afterwards, he played for the football club of his college, Otemae University.[7]

Club career

[edit]

First pro contract

[edit]

After graduating from college, he played amateur football with Hokoku FC in the Japanese lower leagues before leaving to pursue a pro career abroad.[8][9] In December 2019, he tried out for Thai side Sakon Nakhon, where he was praised for his left foot and tactical eye.[10] He was signed by the Thai club in early 2020 before his stint at the club was interrupted by the COVID-19 Pandemic.[11] The year after, he moved to Thai League 3 club Prime Bangkok.[12] He would remain in the country for another year, signing with Muang Loei United for one season in 2022. While in Thailand, he also pursued a coaching career with a youth team named Good Morning FC.[13]

Prey Veng

[edit]

In 2023, Omae would travel to Cambodia, where he signed for Cambodian Premier League side Prey Veng alongside fellow countryman Ryo Kato.[14][15][16] He had a successful season at the club and scored 4 goals from 18 matches as a midfielder, including a free-kick against ISI Dangkor Senchey.[17][18] During his time at the club, he was also named captain for the remainder of the season until his departure in early 2024.

Davao Aguilas

[edit]

Omae would then move to the Philippines, where he signed with Davao Aguilas of the Philippines Football League, a team who were competing in the league for the first time in 6 years.[19] He played there alongside Japanese players Yusuke Unoki and Shoma Sato, as well as Filipino-Japanese captain Daisuke Sato.[3] He made his debut on the opening matchday, a 1–0 win over Mendiola 1991, and assisted the winning goal in the next game against Manila Digger.[20][21]
