Ade Olumuyiwa has completed a move to Poole Town from NE Sharks on a free transfer, returning to the Dorset club as a permanent signing. The Nigeria centre-back joins Poole Town after his latest spell in the United States, with the transfer registered as a free move between the American side and the English outfit.
The contract with Poole Town runs from 10/12/2025 to 30/06/2026.
Olumuyiwa, 28, is listed primarily as a right-footed centre-back and is now back in English football after spending time with Nova Southeastern Sharks (NE Sharks) in the US system. The switch sees him rejoin a club he already knows well, having previously represented Poole Town before heading back to the United States in 2023.
Born in Lagos and standing at 1.91m, Olumuyiwa has built a career across a series of clubs in England’s non-league structure and the US game. Before his earlier spell at Poole Town, he turned out for Farnborough, AFC Totton, Weymouth, Blackfield & Langley and FC Team Solent, as well as New Orleans Jesters in the United States. That path has given him experience in both English and American competitions, though the current league classifications for his latest teams are recorded as N/A in the supplied data.
His journey has included both permanent moves and a loan stint, notably a loan from Weymouth to Farnborough in 2019 before that spell was concluded with a return from loan later that year. Subsequent transfers saw him move through several Southern and non-league clubs before his first stint at Poole, and then on again to Nova Southeastern Sharks in 2023.
The latest move from NE Sharks back to Poole Town is recorded as a standard free transfer, with no fee paid and no market value listed for the player in the data. That means Poole Town have secured an experienced, physically imposing defender without a transfer outlay, while Olumuyiwa again steps into English football rather than playing in his home country of Nigeria.
Detailed seasonal statistics, including recent appearances, match performances, or specific results, are not provided in the available data, and there is no recorded market valuation to gauge his transfer value against similar players. However, his repeated recruitment by clubs at this level, including multiple spells with both Farnborough and Poole Town, underlines the trust placed in his defensive attributes.
Having already alternated between English and US sides during his career, this latest confirmed move places Olumuyiwa once more in England’s non-league pyramid with Poole Town. The short-term nature of his current contract, running only until the end of June 2026, also raises the possibility that he could become a free agent again at its conclusion, leaving his longer-term future open and potentially inviting further moves either within England or abroad.
