Career edit

Seen as a precocious talent,[3] Ohayon joined the Maccabi Tel Aviv senior team at the age of 17 and became their third goalkeeper behind Juan Pablo Colinas and Barak Levi. On 10 August 2015 he made his debut in a 3-0 loss to Maccabi Petah Tikva.

Following a trial with English Premier League side Watford in January 2016,[4] Ohayon joined the club's under-23 team on loan in the following August.[5] Meanwhile, he also extended his Maccabi Tel Aviv contract for another five years.[6]

In 2019, he stopped playing for years due to suffering a head injury at the beach.[7]
