Moses Oluwafemi O. T. Ademola (born 18 July 1989) is a professional footballer, who is currently on loan at Canvey Island from Dover Athletic. He plays as a winger or striker.
Early career
Ademola joined Cray Wanderers at a young age and eventually left in 2004. After scoring 19 goals for Croydon Athletic in the Isthmian League Division One South in the 2007–08 season, Ademola was spotted by scouts from teams in the Football League.
Professional career
Ademola consequently, went on trial with Charlton Athletic and Brentford. He signed his first professional deal with the latter in May 2008. His transfer fee was reportedly £2,500, paid by the Brentford fanzine "Thorne in the Side".[2]
The striker was loaned to Conference South side Welling United in November 2008, but was recalled by Brentford without making an appearance. He returned to Park View Road in December 2008,[3] and made four appearances in the league, scoring once. The loan spell was extended for a further month in early January 2009,[4] but just three days later, the decision was reversed,[5] and Ademola returned to Griffin Park.
Ademola joined Woking on loan the following season. On 29 January 2010, he made his loan move permanent by signing a contract with Woking, then staying on for the 2010–11 season. In July 2011, it was confirmed that Ademola would be spending another season at the club.[6]
On 12 July 2012, Ademola joined another Conference South club, Eastleigh.[7] He left Eastleigh on 27 November for divisonal rivals Dover Athletic, while being the club's joint top scorer for the 2012-13 season having scored 7 goals in 15 league appearances.[8]
Football Icon 2
Whilst at Croydon, Ademola was a finalist in the Sky TV reality show, Football Icon 2 in which young players competed for a contract at Chelsea.[citation needed]
