Emmanuel Adegboyega, born 16 September 2003 (age 21), hails from Ireland and serves as a defender, primarily a central defender, for Dundee United. Boasting a height of 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weight of 12st 3lb (78kg), Adegboyega is frequently seen in the number 16 jersey.
Adegboyega's current market value hovers around £255,000 as estimated by Transfermarkt. The terms of his contract spell an expiry date of 31 May, 2025, leaving only four months before its conclusion.
The young defender inaugurated his professional football career with Dundalk in the Rep. Ireland First Division, transferring its colours in October 2022. Mere months later, in the dawn of 2023, Adegboyega moved to Drogheda United, a Premier Division team in the Republic of Ireland. In his debut season at Drogheda United, Adegboyega made 22 first-team appearances and notched a goal under his belt.
In a surprising twist, Adegboyega boarded a flight to England in August 2023, thereby joining Norwich City in the Championship league. He was, however, promptly loaned out to Walsall, a League Two English team, in January 2024. Upon completion of this loan time in June of the same year, Adegboyega retraced his footsteps back to Norwich City.
However, destiny had other plans. In August 2024, Adegboyega traversed international borders, landing squarely in Scotland as a loaned player for Dundee United in the Premiership league. Currently in the 2024 - 2025 season, Adegboyega has graced the pitch for Dundee United in 22 first-team appearances, succeeding in hitting the back of the net twice. His time with Dundee United also saw him participate in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 with two starts as well as the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 with a single start.
