Club career

Taiwo played in Nigeria with Abees Academy Abuja and Kwara United. [3] [4] In 2017, he had a nine-month stint with Turkish club Bursaspor, which preceded a move to FC Zbrojovka Brno of the Czech First League in September 2017. [5] [6] [7] In January 2018, Taiwo completed a transfer to Slovakia to join Nitra. [8] [9] He scored five goals in pre-season for Nitra, notably netting braces against ex-team FC Zbrojovka Brno and MTK Budapest respectively. [10] [11] He made his debut on 28 July in the Slovak Super Liga, featuring for the full duration of a 2–1 loss against Žilina. [2] Taiwo's first competitive goal came in August versus Slovan Bratislava. [2]

In January 2019, Taiwo moved across Slovakia to DAC Dunajská Streda. [4] A year later, after six goals for DAC, Taiwo returned to the Czech First League on loan with Karviná. [2] [12] He scored on debut versus Zlín on 15 February 2020. [2] [13]

On 19 August 2021, Taiwo joined Danish Superliga club Sønderjyske on a deal until June 2025. [14] On 5 September 2022, it emerged that a rift had arisen between the management of SønderjyskE and Taiwo. As a result, he was sent down to the U19 team, but that decision didn't have the support of the first-team squad. Shortly after, he was back in the first team squad. [15] On 6 September 2022, the club confirmed that Taiwo had left the club to join Slovak side FC Spartak Trnava on a loan deal for the 2022-23 season. [16] [17]

On 17 July 2023, Taiwo joined Latvian side Riga FC. [18]

International career

In June 2016, Taiwo was selected for the Nigeria U23s' provisional squad ahead of the 2016 Summer Olympics. [19] However, he wasn't picked in Samson Siasia's final selection. [20] Taiwo did represent the U23s at the 2016 Suwon Invitational Tournament a month prior. [21]
