Club career

On 20 January 2014, Nwakali signed a four-year deal with Manchester City from Shuttle Sports Academy, after impressing with Nigeria under-17s in 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He was also a part of the first team's pre-season tour to USA in July.

On 31 January 2015 Nwakali was loaned to Málaga CF until June 2017, being assigned to the reserves in Tercera División. He made his senior debut on 22 February, starting in a 1–0 home win against Antequera CF.

On 31 August 2015 Nwakali was loaned to Segunda División side Girona FC, in a season-long deal. However, he had to wait until 5 October to be officially available, due to a work permit.

On 31 March 2016 Nwakali terminated his loan with the Catalans, after failing to play a single minute for the club, and immediately joined Tippeligaen side IK Start. On 2 April he made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Mathias Rasmussen in a 0–1 home loss against Viking FK.
