Career

Bolton Wanderers

Growing up in Dagenham, England, Odelusi grew up playing football as a sport to enjoy, in effort to avoid being in the streets.[2] Odelusi joined Bolton Wanderers in 2009 after having also spent time in the Queens Park Rangers and Reading youth set-ups.[3] It was at Bolton Wanderers when the club's Development Coach Jamie Fullarton helped Odelusi switched position from a striker to "a flying winger".[4]

He spent three years in the reserves but in the 2011–12 season Odelusi scored four goals in 16 league games and was rewarded with one-year deal in July 2012.[5] Upon signing a new contract with the club, Odelusi was given number thirty-eight shirt for the club.[6]

Odelusi was on the bench for the matches against Blackburn Rovers which Bolton won 1–0, the home match against Brighton & Hove Albion and the 1–0 loss against Ipswich Town before eventually making his debut in a 3–2 away loss against Charlton Athletic when he came on for Darren Pratley in the 82nd minute.[7] Odelusi made his first start on 6 August against Shrewsbury Town in the League Cup and scored twice in a 3–1 win.[8] Following his first team appearance, Odelusi signed a new contract with the club, keeping him until 2016.[9] Odelusi later made two more appearance later in the 2013-14 season, providing two assists in separate matches against Bournemouth[10] and Reading.[11]

Loan Spells

On 21 February 2014, Odelusi joined League One side Milton Keynes Dons on a one-month loan.[12] Odelusi made his MK Dons debut the next day, coming on as a substitute for Luke Chadwick in the 79th minutes, in a 1-0 loss against Bradford City.[13] On 24 March 2014, Odelusi extended his loan stay with the Dons until the end of the 2013–14 season.[14] However, Odelusi suffered a knee injury that saw him ruled for the rest of the season before returning to his parent club, where he made ten appearance.[15]

On 31 January 2015, Odelusi joined League One side Coventry City on a loan until the end of the season.[16] On the same day, Odelusi made a strong impact on his debut when he scored from the edge of the area in a 2-2 draw against Rochdale.[17] After being sidelined for weeks due to injury he sustained in training,[18][19] Odelusi made his first team return, starting in a 1-0 loss against Barnsley on 3 March 2015.[20] Odelusi scored his second Coventry City goal in the next game on 7 March 2015, in a 3-2 loss against Port Vale[21] and scored again two weeks later on 14 March 2015, in a 3-2 win over Chesterfield.[22] Odelusi returned to Bolton after making fourteen appearance and scoring three times for Coventry City.

Wigan Athletic

6 July 2015 Odelusi signed for Wigan Athletic on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[23] After making five appearances, three in the league, Odelusi was transfer-listed by Wigan in September 2015.[24]

Contrary to popular erroneous reports, Sanmi is still very much in Gary Caldwell's play.

Sustained injury late 2015. Originally ruled out for the 2015/16 season, he has returned to playing.
