Boluwatife Shofowoke (born 15 October 2008) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Peterborough United.
Shofowoke attended Murray Park School in Derby, where he received prizes for his sporting achievements within the youth academy of Peterborough United, [2] which included reaching the final of the U16 PDL Cup, in which Peterborough lost 3–1 to Wigan Athletic. [3]
Upon receiving his scholarship from Peterborough in the summer of 2024, Shofowoke began receiving regular minutes for the U18s, scoring multiple goals including a hat-trick in a 4–2 victory versus Swindon Town. [4] He will sign a professional contract with the club after his 17th birthday in October 2025. [5] Shofowoke was part of the squad which won the 2025 U-18 PDL Cup over Sheffield United. [6]
Shofowoke was first included in a senior matchday squad after fellow striker Bradley Ihionvien had fallen out of favour with manager Darren Ferguson. [7] He made his debut coming on as a late substitute for Malik Mothersille in a 1–1 draw with Bolton Wanderers. [8]
