Bosun Lawal

Bosun Lawal of Stoke City was born on 30 May 2003 (age 22).

Bosun Lawal, hailing from the Republic of Ireland, was born on the 30th of May, 2003, which places him in the promising age bracket of 22. He defends the Stoke City's line as a central defender and is a towering presence on the field with a height of 6ft 2in (or 1.9 meters). His solid build, weighing at 12st 8lb (or approximately 80kg), further cements his imposing stature. Renowned for his performances in his number 18 jersey, Lawal also graced the international stage with the Republic of Ireland team.

In his career journey, Lawal's services were sought after by Celtic, leading to his transfer from the Championship's Watford to the Premiership's Celtic in Scotland in July 2021. The specific transfer fee remains undisclosed, however, Lawal was a valuable asset to Celtic for two seasons.

Despite a promising start, Lawal was loaned out from Celtic to Fleetwood Town, a League Two team based in England, in August 2023. The stint with Fleetwood Town marked a brief pause in Lawal's time with Celtic, before he once again was on the move.

August 2024 saw Lawal bid farewell to Celtic, transferring to Stoke City in the English Championship. The particulars of the transfer fee remain undisclosed, much like his previous move to Celtic. In his debut season at Stoke City (2024-2025), Lawal saw action in seven first-team league matches. As of the 2025-2026 season, the young defender has already made five appearances for Stoke City, with a goal to his name.

In addition to his league appearances, Lawal has also represented Stoke City in the FA Cup 2024-2025 with a substitute appearance. In the following season's League Cup, Lawal further marked his presence, starting in two matches for Stoke City.
