Micah Obonyo Dulo Obiero (born 22 February 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League club Wealdstone. Born in England, he plays for the Kenya national team.

Early life

Obiero was born in Redbridge, London.[3] Obiero is the son of the Kenyan former footballer Henry Obiero. His brother, Zech, is also a professional footballer.[4]

Club career

Obiero began his career in the Leyton Orient academy, before having a spell at the XYZ Academy in Hackney, London. He arrived on trial at Huddersfield Town during the 2016–17 season, before signing a professional contract with the club in April 2018.[5] He signed a new contract with the club in January 2020, taking him through to June 2022.[6]

Obiero made his senior debut for Huddersfield on 22 July 2020, the last day of the 2019–20 season, coming on at half-time in a 4–1 Championship defeat to Millwall.[7]

On 16 October 2020, he joined League Two side Carlisle United on loan until January 2021.[8][9] He made four league appearances for the club and scored his first professional goal against Aston Villa under-23s in the EFL Trophy, before returning to Huddersfield as planned in January 2021.[10]

On 29 March 2021, Obiero joined National League side FC Halifax Town on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season.[11]

On 17 July 2022, Obiero joined National League North club Boston United.[12]

On 8 October 2022, Obiero signed for National League club Wealdstone. He made his debut on the same day, appearing as a substitute in a 2–1 defeat to Boreham Wood.[13] Obiero's first goal for the club came on 26 October, a consolation in a 6–1 defeat to Notts County. Having ended the 2022–23 season as the club's top scorer with 8 league goals, Obiero signed a two-year contract extension in August 2023.[14] He signed a further one-year contract in July 2025.[15]

On 28 March 2026, Obiero scored a stoppage-time winner in the semi-final of the FA Trophy against Marine.[16] Three days later, he scored his first career hat-trick, netting three times in the first 25 minutes in a 7–0 victory over Hartlepool United.[17] He played the full 90 minutes of the 2026 FA Trophy final against Southend United and scored his penalty in the ensuing shoot-out, although Wealdstone were ultimately defeated 4–2.[18]

International career

Obiero made his Kenya debut on 4 June 2026, appearing as a substitute in a 1–1 draw in a friendly against Lesotho in Pretoria.[19]
