Emmanuel Adegboyega, born on 16 September 2003 (age 22), is a Republic of Ireland central defender at Rotherham United. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m) centre-back, he wears squad number 16 and is valued at around £425,000 by Transfermarkt.
The spell that has given his career its clearest shape so far came at Dundee United. In 2024-25 he made 31 league appearances and scored three league goals, a useful return for a young defender and the main senior body of work attached to his name.
He is now with Rotherham United, where his 2026-27 season has included one League Two appearance. Adegboyega’s career is still developing, but its strongest evidence to date remains that Dundee United season, with Rotherham the next stage.
