Career

society

Okotie is a graduate of the Frank Stronach Football Academy run by FK Austria Wien . At Austria he moved up to the A-squad and thus to the Bundesliga at the beginning of the 2007/08 season , after having been a regular player for two years in the Austria Amateurs playing in the First League (the second highest Austrian division). He scored his first goal on February 23, 2008 in the game against FC Red Bull Salzburg , in which he contributed 1-0 to the 3-1 win. In the 2008/09 season , Okotie was the Austria Cup winner; in the final he scored the 1-0. He was also the most dangerous player in Austria this season with 14 goals together with Milenko Ačimovič . In the 2009/10 season , the striker only played seven competitive games for Austria Wien after he was diagnosed with cartilage damage in his right knee in September 2009.

Although he has not played a competitive game since then, he was signed by 1. FC Nürnberg for the 2010/11 season . On the last match day of the first half of the season he came as a substitute in stoppage time for his first appearance in the German Bundesliga . After he could not prevail in Nuremberg in the second half of the season, he was awarded to the Belgian first division club VV St. Truiden in August . There he scored his first goal of the season in the 10th matchday in his third game of the season in the 2-4 defeat against Beerschot AC . But since he did not get the desired match practice, he switched to the Austrian first division SK Sturm Graz on loan .

In summer 2012 he finally moved to SK Sturm Graz on a free transfer and signed a contract that was valid until summer 2013. After one and a half years with Graz, he returned to FK Austria Wien in summer 2013. At the end of January 2014, Okotie was awarded to the Danish club Sønderjysk Elitesport . In July 2014 he moved to the German second division club TSV 1860 Munich . He made his debut for 1860 at the start of the 2014/15 season in the game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern , where he scored both of the guests' goals in a 2: 3 away defeat. From then on he established himself as a center forward in the starting line-up of TSV 1860.

After Okotie's contract with TSV 1860 had expired in June 2016, he moved to the Chinese second division Beijing Enterprises Group FC , where he received a two and a half year contract.

At the end of January 2018, the contract with Beijing Enterprises Group FC was terminated by mutual agreement; After a short absence from a club, Okotie was signed by the Belgian second division club KFCO Beerschot Wilrijk in February 2018 . In the summer of 2019, his contract with the club, which had since been renamed K Beerschot VA , was no longer renewed.

He was used in all seven tournament games and scored two goals.

He was appointed to the senior national team for the first time by team boss Karel Brückner for the friendly against Turkey on November 19, 2008 and was in the starting line-up. By 2009 he played four international matches. Because of his knee problems and the weaker performance, he was no longer nominated.

In August 2014 Okotie was nominated again by team boss Marcel Koller for the squad of the Austrian national team for the qualification for the European Championship 2016 . He scored his first goal for the national team on October 12, 2014 in Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium in a 1-0 win against Montenegro .

At the European Football Championship in France in 2016 , he was included in Austria's squad. In the opening game against Hungary , he came on in the 65th minute, after conceding the 0-1 goal shortly before. The game ended 0-2. In the remaining games until the elimination after the group stage, he was no longer used.

Okotie has been the father of a son since September 9, 2014 and married since November 19, 2014.
