Tunmise Sobowale

Tunmise Sobowale of Shamrock Rovers was born in Waterford, Rep. Ireland on 19 March 1999 (age 27).

Tunmise Sobowale, born on 19 March 1999 (age 27), is a Republic of Ireland right-back with Shamrock Rovers. His profile is a practical one rather than a noisy one: a first-team defender who has remained involved rather than drifting to the edge of the squad.

In 2026, Sobowale has been a regular league presence for Rovers, making 20 Premier Division appearances and scoring one goal. That already stands as his most productive league season in front of goal, though his main value is plainly in the right-back role rather than any pretence of attacking glamour.

His current market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt. Sobowale remains part of the Shamrock Rovers first-team picture in 2026, with his career built around steady senior involvement at domestic level.
