He was then invited to train with Nigeria at U16 level. After departing Charlton Athletic, he moved to the youth team of both Millwall whilst he completed his scholarship. Soon after, he signed his first professional contract with Premier League outfit Stoke City scoring five goals for the U18s side before the close of the 2013–14 campaign. The majority of his moves since were all in the English Fifth tier where he got first-team experience with over 80 appearances to his name in the National League for Dagenham & Redbridge, Ebbsfleet United and Barnet.
Adeloye had a brief spell with East Kilbride in December 2020, scoring a brace as a second-half substitute on his debut in a 9–0 win over Edinburgh University, but made just one further appearance before the Lowland League was suspended and he played out the season with National League side Barnet, scoring three goals in 17 appearances.
