Onazi was formerly with FC Casertana, a club he joined in August 2022 after a brief spell as a free agent.

He was with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Adalah before his deal was cut short. Stints with Turkey’s Denizlispor and Lithuania’s Zalgiris had preceded. 

He was part of the Super Eagles team that won the 2013 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophy in South Africa.
