[edit] Career

Amoo began his career with Aston Villa, featuring in the FA Youth Cup winning side of 2002. In March 2004 he moved on to Northampton Town[1], agreeing a 15-month contract with the club and making his debut as a last minute substitute in the 2–1 victory over Oxford United on 3 April 2004. In his first full season with Northampton, Amoo could only manage sporadic appearances for the first-team and at the end of March 2005 his contract was terminated.[2]

At this point, Amoo was involved in a six-month relationship with the reality television star Jade Goody[3] and, following their separation, dropped out of the professional ranks to join Leicestershire Senior League side Highfield Rangers. He moved to their league rivals Barrow Town for whom he made a goal scoring debut in their 4-0 away victory over Holwell Sports on 8 November 2005.[4]

In July 2006, Amoo was offered a trial with Lincoln City whose then Director of Football John Deehan had worked with Amoo at Northampton. The trial was successful with Amoo agreeing a one-year contract with the Imps.[5] The 2006–07 season saw Amoo establish himself as a regular in the first-team, starting 35 league games and being rewarded with a new two-year contract at the end of the season.[6] His last appearance for the club came against Bury on 1 January 2008, and he was released from his contract by mutual consent at the end of the 2007–08 season.[7]
