Having played most of his early career with Preston Lions and Melbourne Knights in the National Soccer League, Ognenovski moved to Greek side Panachaiki where he played for one season.

On returning to Australia he was again in the NSL before being signed up by the new Hyundai A-League outfit Queensland Roar. He quickly became a first team regular having played 38 matches over the two seasons he was there.

He later moved to South Australia after signing for Adelaide United where he made 23 appearances. On his A-League arrival, fans were calling for him to be included in the national team squads but he narrowly missed out on making his debut several times.

Finally, he was chosen to represent the national side in a friendly in Cairo against Egypt. Despite the result, he acquitted himself very well and was one of the best players on the park.

This season also seems to be one of his best at club level; on top of captaining his Korean club to the AFC Asian Champions League trophy he was named 2010 AFC Champions League Most Valuable Player and 2010 Asian Footballer of the Year.

He’s aiming to head into 2011 in the same vane when he’s hoping to be a part of the national squad competing to bring back the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.
