Born in the Republic of Ireland on 19 March 1999, Tunmise Sobowale now, aged 26, serves as a stalwart defender for St Mirren. Primarily working the role of right back for his squad, it is not just his skill but also his physical attributes that leave an impression on the pitch. Measured at 5 feet 8 inches tall (1.75 metres) and weighing in at 11 stones and 13 pounds (76 kilograms), Sobowale dons the number 19 jersey for the Scottish Premiership club.
His market value, according to the respected Transfermarkt, is situated around £170,000. Sobowale's contract with St Mirren, following the conclusion of negotiations, has 1 year and 10 months remaining, set for expiration on 31 May 2027.
Investigating his early movements into football, Sobowale forayed from the Spanish outfit Hércules CF in Second Division B/1 to join Finn Harps in the Republic of Ireland's First Division in July 2018. Two years later, in July 2020, another internal relocation saw the defender move up to the Premier Division of the Republic of Ireland's league system, joining Waterford from Finn Harps. Here, he made 12 first team appearances in league matches in the 2020 season, and secured another ten first team appearances in 2021.
In July 2023, Sobowale made his shift to England's League Two, signing with Shrewsbury Town from Waterford for an undisclosed fee. His journey through English football did not end there though, as in July 2024, he made the move from Shrewsbury Town to Swindon Town, also in England's League Two.
It wasn't until July 2025 that Scotland called, with Sobowale signing for Premiership outfit St Mirren from Swindon Town again for an undisclosed fee. In the current season of 2025 - 2026 at St Mirren, Sobowale has already notched up two first team appearances in league matches, looking to expand his reputation and impact on the Scottish Premiership.
