Tomi Adeloye has completed a move from Scottish side Greenock Morton to Lithuanian club FK TransINVEST on a free transfer, signing a contract running from 2026-03-07 to 2027-12-31. The 30-year-old centre-forward leaves the Scottish Championship for a new challenge in Lithuania’s top flight, the Toplyga, with his current market value listed at €100k.
The Nigeria- and England-eligible striker arrives at FK TransINVEST after his stint with Morton, who he joined following a spell without a club earlier in his career. The transfer comes at no cost to the Lithuanian side, with the deal registered as a free transfer. Adeloye, who will wear the number 90 shirt for his new team, is expected to operate through the middle in his natural role as a centre-forward.
Adeloye has built a career across multiple tiers of English and Scottish football before this move abroad. After progressing through Charlton Athletic’s U18s and Millwall’s U18s, he featured for Stoke City U21, then embarked on a nomadic senior journey that took in Chelmsford City, Welling United, Altrincham, FC United of Manchester, St Albans City and Dagenham & Redbridge in England’s lower leagues. Further moves included Ebbsfleet United and Barnet before he crossed into Scottish football with Ayr United.
His performances at Ayr United earned him a peak market valuation of €325k during the 2021–22 season, reflecting his impact in the Scottish Championship and boosting his profile as a powerful, right-footed attacking option. A subsequent move to Swindon Town in England kept him in the professional spotlight, followed by a loan to Partick Thistle before a return to Swindon and then his later switch to Morton in Scotland.
Over time his market value has gradually adjusted, settling at €100k during his spell at Morton, where he continued to feature as a focal point in attack. The free transfer to FK TransINVEST therefore represents an opportunity for both club and player: for the Lithuanians, an experienced forward with significant British football pedigree at no transfer fee; for Adeloye, a first step into Lithuanian football and a chance to reassert his value in a new environment.
Internationally, Adeloye’s dual nationality makes his move noteworthy. Born in Sidcup and holding both Nigerian and English ties, he has experience in the English system and Scottish professional tiers but now steps into a different footballing culture altogether. The Toplyga will present contrasting tactical and physical demands from those in the UK, and his success in adapting could influence perceptions of British-based forwards seeking careers further afield.
For Morton, his departure clears a space in their attacking department and removes a player whose contract situation allowed him to move on a free, underlining the ongoing churn common in Championship squads. For FK TransINVEST, the signing brings a tall, 1.87 m striker with years of senior experience and a track record of operating as a central attacking reference point.
If Adeloye settles quickly and rediscover the form that once made him a six-figure asset at Ayr United and Swindon Town, this move to Lithuania’s Toplyga could extend his career at a competitive level and reshape his reputation as a seasoned forward capable of succeeding outside the familiar settings of England and Scotland.
