Career

Professional

Oka played in his native Côte d'Ivoire for Stade d'Abidjan, Stella Club d'Adjamé and Africa Sports National, helping the latter team to the runner-up spot in the Côte d'Ivoire Premier Division in 2005 and subsequently playing in the CAF Champions League, before signing with New England Revolution of Major League Soccer in September 2006.

Having found opportunities in MLS difficult, and having made just 1 senior appearance for Revolution in his two years with the team, Oka signed with the Portland Timbers for the 2008 season^[1], eventually featuring in 7 games and scoring 1 goal.

He signed for the newly promoted USL First Division side Cleveland City Stars for the 2009 season.^[2]

International

Oka has appeared for Côte d'Ivoire's U-17, U-20 and U-23 national teams, but has yet to be called up to the senior Côte d'Ivoire national football team.
