Olajuwon Bamidele "Ola" Adeyemo (born 15 January 1995) is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a striker for English club Watford. He started his career with UCD in the League of Ireland and has also previously played in Scotland for Dundee United and, on loan, East Fife. He signed for Watford in March 2016.

Born in England and brought up in Ireland, Adeyemo qualifies to represent Nigeria by descent and was called up to their under-23 team in January 2015.

Early life

Born in London, Adeyemo moved to Ireland at the age of two.[2] He later went on to play youth football with Stella Maris and St Patrick's Athletic,[3] and was part of the Football Association of Ireland's national youth development programme.[2]

Playing career

Club

Adeyemo joined UCD from St Patrick's Athletic, where he went on to make his first senior appearance. He joined Scottish Premiership club Dundee United in June 2014 after a spell on trial with Leyton Orient.[1] After making his debut for Dundee United as a substitute in a Premiership match at Kilmarnock on 3 October 2014,[4] Adeyemo signed a contract extension in December 2014 to keep him at the club for a further eighteen months.[5] In February 2015, he joined East Fife in Scottish League Two on a development loan for the rest of the 2014–15 season.[5] Adeyemo left Dundee United in December 2015 after his contract was cancelled by mutual agreement, having made only two substitute appearances for the first team.[6] Adeyemo signed for English Premier League club Watford on 30 March 2016 until 2017 after a successful trial with the club's Under-21's.[7]

International

Adeyemo, who is also qualified to represent England or the Republic of Ireland, received a call-up to a Nigeria under-23 squad training camp in January 2015.[2]
