Orenuga joined Southend United in 2006, after he impressed the club following his recommendation by an agent.[2] Not long after joining the club he helped Southend win the Norhalne Cup in Denmark, attracting interest from FC Copenhagen and Brøndby in the process. He became the youngest player to appear for Southend United when he came on as a 93rd minute substitute in their 3–1 victory over Luton Town in the FA Cup second round on 29 November 2008.[3][4]
[edit] Everton
In March 2009, Orenuga agreed to sign for Premier League team Everton on 1 July for an undisclosed fee believed to be £30,000, increasing based on first team appearances.[5] He will join on a two-year academy scholarship.[6]

On 21 October 2011, it was confirmed by Notts County that Orenuga had joined on a month long loan deal.[7]
