Darren Joseph Norman Oldaker (born 1 April 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One side Gillingham.
Playing career
Oldaker began his career in the Queens Park Rangers youth team, but was ready to quit the game when Dennis Wise recommended him to Gillingham.[3] He had a trial at the club and was soon signed onto scholarship forms.[3] He signed professional forms in May 2016.[4] He made his League One debut on 20 August 2016, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute for Emmanuel Osadebe in a 5–0 defeat to Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.[5] He scored on his first start for the "Gills" ten days later, in a 2–1 defeat to Luton Town in an EFL Trophy match at Priestfield Stadium.[6]
