Omotayo began his career in the youth team at FC Zürich as a goalkeeper, before dropping to regional football to play for FC Schlieren. In summer 2016, he moved to Wettswil-Bonstetten in the 1.

After scoring nine league goals in the second half of the 2017–18 season, Omotayo turned professional with Bury in July 2018,[5] scoring the only goal of the game on his English Football League debut against Yeovil Town on 4 August 2018.[6] On 5 October 2018, Bury loaned him to Maidstone United on a 35-day deal.[7] Omotayo's first appearance after returning to Bury was as a substitute in the EFL Trophy match against Mansfield Town on 4 December 2018; Bury won 1–0.[8]

Omotayo signed for FC Halifax Town on a short-term deal on 3 October 2020, making his debut later that day.[10] He left the club on 29 October 2020, having made five appearances in all competitions without scoring.[11]
On 5 February 2021, Omotayo signed for National League North side Gloucester City after impressing on trial.[12] He appeared in the only game between him signing for the club and the early curtailment of the season, a 1–1 draw against Chorley in which he scored a debut goal.[13]
