Ismahil Akinade (born 11 February 1994) is a Nigerian-born[1] footballer who plays for Bohemians in the League of Ireland.
Career
Akinade started his career at St Patrick's Athletic Under 19's (making the bench for the first team once as an unused substitute) before moving on to Bray Wanderers where he was a huge hit with fans and won the club's Young Player of the Year award for the 2013 season. Akinade parted ways with Bray at the end of the 2014 season after he played a huge part in guaranteeing the Seagulls' safety in the Premier Division.
Midway through the 2015 League of Ireland season, Akinade signed for Bohemians, making his debut in a 2–1 win away to Dundalk on 6 June, setting up the first goal. Akinade was nominated for Young Player Of The Year[1] after scoring 10 goals in 18 matches in his first season with the club. In October 2015, he agreed to a new contract.[2][1]
Personal life
In 2014 Akinade and two other men received a two-year suspended sentence for the 2010 sexual abuse of a teenage girl in Kildare.[3][4]
