Edereho started his career at Saudi Arabian club Al Sarha FC in 2000, in 2001 he moved back to his homeland, Nigeria and played for Ebiedafe FC and then in 2002 to another Nigerian Club AS Racine FC. In 2004 Edereho made his first move to Europe and was transferred to KF Prishtina of Kosovo. The Finnish Veikkausliiga League was his next destination where he played for RoPS Rovaniemi, Tervarit Oulu and KuPS Kuopio where he impressed enough to transfer to Iranian giants Persepolis FC in 2005. He had some very weak displays at Persepolis and was released from the club. In November 2006, it was also found out that KuPS Kuopio didn't receive the transfer fee for Edehero from Persepolis. FIFA was investigating the situation and decided that Persepolis must pay the transfer fee.^[1]
