Tunmise Sobowale

Tunmise Sobowale of St Mirren was born in Waterford, Rep. Ireland on 19 March 1999 (age 26).

Tunmise Sobowale, born on 19 March 1999 in the Republic of Ireland, is a proficient football defender who primarily serves as a right back for St Mirren Football Club. Standing 5ft 8in tall (1.75 metres) and tipping the scale at a healthy 11st 13lb (approximately 76kg), Sobowale is endowed with a robust physique and agility to manoeuvre draconian opposition defenders. Adorning the revered number 19 jersey, he has etched a prominent influence on the pitch.

Estimations of his current market value sit around the £170,000 mark, as gauged by revered sports portal, Transfermarkt.

In the summer of 2018, Sobowale switched loyalties from Hércules CF, competing in Spain's Second Division B/1, to ply his trade for Finn Harps, based in the First Division of his home country, Republic of Ireland. After two good seasons, Sobowale transferred from Finn Harps to Waterford, another First Division side in the Republic of Ireland in July 2020. Serving his debut season for Waterford in 2020, he made 12 first-team appearances in league encounters, followed by another ten in the next season.

July 2023 marked another move for Sobowale. Waterford agreed to an undisclosed fee with Shrewsbury Town, a club in England's League Two. A year later, he switched allegiances to another League Two Club, Swindon Town. The adventure didn’t end there, in July 2025, Sobowale made another pivotal move; this time transferring from Swindon Town to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership on an undisclosed fee.

In the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season, Sobowale has already notched up three first-team appearances for St Mirren in league matches. Football, indeed, seems to be a never-ending voyage for this versatile defender.
