Dennis Oliech (locally /dns ljet/; born 2 February 1985) is a Kenyan professional football who plays as a forward for Auxerre.

[edit] Club career

Dennis Oliech started playing football for Dagoretti Santos in his earlier years, then Mathare United.

He turned professional in 2003 playing for Al-Arabi in Qatar until late 2005. In 2004 he was offered a chance to change his citizenship from Kenyan to Qatari. But he refused the offer.^[1]

In 2005, Oliech signed a four-year contract with the French Ligue 1 team FC Nantes and started playing for them at the start of 2006. However, FC Nantes were relegated in 2007 after finishing bottom of Ligue 1 and Oliech was signed on loan by Auxerre who were in need of goals after a bad start to their season. In January Auxerre signed him from Nantes. On September 25, 2011, Oliech scored his first ever hat-trick for Auxerre in a 41 win over Sochaux. The hat-trick was accomplished within the span of 16 minutes.

[edit] International career

His first international match was in 2002, when Kenya lost to Nigeria 30.

Having come on in the second half Oliech scored which was the winning goal for the national team in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers for the 2004 finals against Cape Verde Islands. He played at the 2004 African Cup of Nations.
