Club career

Durojaiye joined Tottenham Hotspur at the age of seven and worked his way through the ranks up to the Under-18s as a striker.[1] After failing to be offered a professional contract, trialled with Cheltenham Town, Brentford and Oxford United before moving to Norwich City in August 2012.[2] He signed a one-year professional deal but was released at the end of the season.[3]

In July 2013, Durojaiye signed for Scottish Championship club Falkirk. He spent two seasons at the club before his release in May 2015.[4]

On 20 February 2015, Durojaiye joined Scottish League One side Brechin City on loan for the remainder of the season.[5]

Durojaiye joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Enfield Town ahead of the 2015–16 season. He failed to score for the club in 12 appearances and was released in early November.[6] The following month, he completed a move to Haringey Borough.[7]

In February 2016, Durojaiye joined Hayes & Yeading United and began playing in a defensive role. After a short spell at Hungerford Town ahead of the 2016-17 season, he returned to Hayes & Yeading for a second time in October 2016. He went on to score twice in 20 appearances for the club.

In December 2016, he returned to Haringey Borough. Durojaiye made 20 appearances for the club, including in the Isthmian League Division One North play-off semi-final, and scored braces against Bury Town and Great Wakering Rovers.[8]

In August 2017, Durojaiye joined National League South club Welling United after impressing in a pre-season trial.[9] On 5 August, he made his debut replacing Toby Ajala in a 3–2 defeat to Truro City.[10]

Durojaiye joined Braintree Town for the 2017-18 season.[11] On 10 September 2018, it was announced that Durojaiye had left the club despite starting all seven league fixtures.[12]

On 21 September 2018, following his departure from Braintree, Durojaiye agreed to join fellow National League side, Maidstone United.[13]

On 26 February 2019, Olumide agreed to join National League South side Woking, following a spell back at Haringey Borough.[14]

Despite gaining promotion during his spell with Woking, prior to the 2019–20 campaign, Durojaiye opted to return to Haringey Borough once more.

On 22 January 2021, Durojaiye rejoined National League South side Welling United.[15]
