Adebola Oluwo (born 19 November 1999) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Salford City. [1]
Oluwo began his senior career at Essex Senior League side Tower Hamlets in the 2018–19 season, following time out of the game whilst studying economics at university after a spell in the academy at Bromley. [2] In his only season at the club, Oluwo made 12 league appearances for Tower Hamlets. [3]
Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Oluwo signed for Southern Counties East League club Fisher. [4] During his time at Fisher, Oluwo made 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring three times, as the season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5]
In August 2020, having impressed during pre-season, Oluwo joined National League South club Chelmsford City on a one-year deal. [6] With his first season having been curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he signed further one-year deals in April 2021 [7] and June 2022, the latter coming off the back of an impressive campaign that saw him named Supporters Club Player of the Season. [8] [9]
In May 2023, Oluwo joined National League club Barnet. [10] He made his debut on the opening day of the season, opening the scoring in an eventual 3–2 victory over Hartlepool United in a performance that saw him voted man of the match. [11] [12] He made 36 appearances and scored six goals across the 2024–25 season as Barnet were crowned National League champions. [13] [14]
On 9 June 2025, Oluwo joined League Two club Salford City on a two-year deal. [15] [16] In July 2025, he was one of several players subjected to racial abuse during a pre-season friendly against York City, the incident leading to the Salford players walking off of the pitch and abandoning the match. [17] On 9 August 2025, in his second game for the club, Oluwo scored his first Football League goal, scoring the opener in a 2–1 win away to Notts County. [18]
Oluwo was born in Mushin, Nigeria and raised in Ijebu Ode, before relocating to the United Kingdom at the age of eight. [19]
