Milton Jeremiah Oni (born 21 March 2006) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Colchester United.
Oni progressed through the Colchester United academy, signing a first professional contract in June 2024. [3] [4] He had spent a significant portion of the previous season gaining first-team experience on loan with Isthmian League North Division club Maldon & Tiptree. [5]
On 13 August 2024, Oni made his senior debut for Colchester United as a second-half substitute in an EFL Cup First Round victory over Reading. [6] His performance drew praise from manager Danny Cowley, particularly noting his composure in scoring a penalty in the shoot-out victory. [7] Four days later, he made his league debut, again from the bench, in a 2–0 victory over Milton Keynes Dons. [8]
On 5 September 2024 it was announced by Colchester United that Oni would be out of action for several months after rupturing his ACL and tearing his Medial meniscus during a late tackle by a Brentford player during an EFL Cup Second Round match on the 28th August. [9] Following more than a year out injured, he made his return to playing in an under-21s fixture. [10]
