Daniel Oladele Akinbiyi Oyegoke (born 3 January 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right back for Premier League club Brentford.
Oyegoke is a product of the Barnet and Arsenal academies and began his professional career with Brentford in 2021. He has been capped by England at youth level.
Club career[edit]
Early years[edit]
After beginning his youth career as a forward in the Barnet Academy,[4] Oyegoke moved to the Arsenal Academy in 2017.[5] While at Hale End, he was converted into a right back and progressed to sign a scholarship deal at the end of the 2018–19 season.[4][5] At the end of his two-year scholarship, Oyegoke elected to decline the offer of a professional contract and departed the club.[6]
Brentford[edit]
On 1 July 2021, Oyegoke transferred to the B team at Premier League club Brentford and signed a three-year contract, with the option of a further year, for an undisclosed fee.[7] He made 24 B team appearances during the 2021–22 season and was an unused substitute during two first team cup matches.[8][9] Oyegoke was called into the first team's 2022–23 pre-season training camp in Germany and made two friendly appearances.[10][11][12]
On 27 July 2022, Oyegoke joined League One club Milton Keynes Dons on a season-long loan.[9] He made 18 appearances, predominantly as a starter,[8] before being recalled by Brentford on 2 January 2023.[10] During the second half of the 2022–23 season, Oyegoke was a part of the B team's 2022–23 Premier League Cup-winning squad.[13]
On 28 June 2023, Oyegoke joined League Two club Bradford City on a season-long loan.[14] A second yellow card led Oyegoke to be sent off for the first time in his career after 41 minutes of the opening match of the 2023–24 season.[15][16] He made regular appearances until mid-November,[17] when he underwent surgery on a shoulder injury.[18] One month later, it was announced that the club would retain Oyegoke's registration until the end of the season, on reduced terms.[19] He returned to match play on 16 March 2024 and ended the 2023–24 season (in which the Bantams narrowly missed the League Two play-offs) with 28 appearances.[17][20] After the end of his loan, Bradford City said they wanted to bring him on loan back for the 2024–25 season.[21]
International career[edit]
Oyegoke was capped by England at U16, U17, U18 and U19 level.[8] He participated in an U19 training camp in May 2021 and was named in the squad for a pair of friendly matches in September 2021,[22] both of which he appeared in.[23] During the 2021–22 season, Oyegoke was a part of the U19 squad which qualified for the 2022 UEFA European U19 Championship Finals.[24] He started in two of his five appearances at the Finals,[8] including the victory over Israel in the Final.[25]
In September 2022, Oyegoke was named in the England U20 squad for its Costa Cálida Supercup campaign.[26] He started in the opening match versus Chile and scored his first international goal in the 3–0 win.[27] Oyegoke was a member of England's 2023 U20 World Cup squad and started in every match prior to the team's round-of-16 exit.[28]
Personal life[edit]
Oyegoke is of Nigerian descent.[3] He attended Aldenham School.[29]
