Born in Enfield,[4], Onomah came through the academy system at Tottenham Hotspur. He was first called up for the first team on 5 January 2015, remaining an unused substitute in their 1–1 draw away to Burnley in the FA Cup third round,[5] and made his debut nine days later in the replay, replacing Andros Townsend for the last 15 minutes of a 4–2 victory at White Hart Lane.[6] On 24 May, he was included in the matchday squad for a Premier League game for the first time, remaining unused as Tottenham won 0–1 at Everton in the last game of the season.[7]

In the 2015–16 season, Onomah changed his shirt number to 25, which was included on the club's list of first-team numbers.[8] He made his Premier League debut in a 3–1 home victory over Aston Villa on 2 November 2015, replacing Dele Alli for the final minutes.[9] On 10 December, Onomah made his first start for Tottenham playing 90 minutes in a 4–1 victory over AS Monaco.[10]

Onomah has represented England up to under-21 level.
