Al-Owdah signed with Al-Najma in 2010 after having failed trials with Al-Taawoun and Al-Arabi. He started his career playing as a forward before being moved to play as a defender on the advice of his former youth coach Ahmed Abdulmaqsoud.[3] On 17 July 2015, he left Al-Najma after 5 years and joined Al-Hilal.[4] On 23 August 2018, Al-Owdah joined Al-Fayha on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[5] He made 13 appearances throughout all competitions and scored 1 goal in the King Cup. On 13 July 2019, Al-Owdah left Al-Hilal and joined Al-Raed.[6] Just one month after signing for Al-Raed, his contract was terminated due to his failure to meet the requirements for professional players.[7] On 21 August 2019, Al-Owdah dropped down a division and joined Al-Batin.[8] On 27 July 2022, Al-Owdah joined Al-Khaleej on a one-year deal.[9]
