Early career

edit

Born in Gütersloh,[1] Oesterhelweg played youth football for Gütersloher TV and Gütersloh 2000 before joining Wiedenbrück 2000 in 2008.[2] He made his debut for Wiedenbrück on 7 August 2010 in a 1–0 win at Fortuna Düsseldorf before going on to make 18 appearances that season, though he did not score.[1]

FSV Frankfurt II and Eintracht Frankfurt II

edit

In the summer of 2011, Oesterholweg joined FSV Frankfurt II on a one-year contract with the option of a further year.[3] His debut for FSV Frankfurt II came on 7 August 2011 in a 1–0 defeat at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II, whilst the first goal of his senior career came two games later in a 3–1 defeat at Hessen Kassel. Over the course of the 2011–12 season, he was a regular player at FSV Frankfurt II, stating that he felt 'very comfortable at the club'.[4] He made 30 appearances over the course of the season, scoring four times.[1][5]

VfR Aalen

edit

On 30 January 2014, one day before the transfer deadline, Oesterhelweg joined 2. Bundesliga club VfR Aalen on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[6] He made 3 appearances for Aalen across the 2013–14 season, and made just 4 appearances in all competitions in the 2014–15 season leading to his departure at the end of his contract.[1]

SV Elversberg

edit

Oesterhelweg joined Regionalliga Südwest side SV Elversberg in the summer of 2015,[7] and was part of the team that finished second, having scored 7 goals in 27 appearances across the regular part of the 2015–16 season. Despite a goal from Oesterhelweg to tie the opening promotion play-off match against FSV Zwickau, Elversberg lost the second leg 1–0, thus remaining in the Regionalliga Südwest for the following season. After 13 goals in 34 appearances for Oesterhelweg, Elversberg finished top of the Regionalliga Südwest in 2016–17, but again lost out in the promotion play-offs, this time to SpVgg Unterhaching.[1]

Sportfreunde Lotte

Oesterhelweg joined Sportfreunde Lotte in the summer of 2017,[8] making his debut on 22 July 2019 in a 2–0 defeat at home to Hansa Rostock, before scoring his first goal for the club on their eleventh game of the season at home to Hallescher FC. Oesterhelweg performed well that season, scoring 8 goals in 31 league games. The 2018–19 season saw Oesterhelweg play regularly, appearing in all but one of their league matches that season, though he was released following the expiration of his contract at the end of the season.[9][1]
