Dominic Daniel Udoh (born 30 August 1996) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Wycombe Wanderers.

Playing career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Udoh was born in Lagos, Nigeria, then came to England with his family at the age of nine, and as a teenager joined the Luton Town development squad.[3] He later moved on to the Stevenage Academy on a two-year scholarship.[3] He was called up to the Nigeria under-17 squad, however Stevenage were concerned that he spent too much time on international duty and released him.[3]

He signed on non-contract terms alongside former teammate Harold Joseph with Kidderminster Harriers.[3] Kidderminster loaned him out to Worcester City,[4] Wingate & Finchley,[5] North Greenford United and Grays Athletic,[6] but he became frustrated by a lack of match time,[3] and ended the season at Hoddesdon Town.[7] He was invited to a trial at Ilkeston by manager Gavin Strachan, and impressed in pre-season enough to earn a one-year contract in 2015.[3] He remained a first team regular after Andy Watson replaced Strachan as manager in October, forming a successful partnership with Lee Ndlovu.[3]

Crewe Alexandra

[edit]

He was signed for an undisclosed fee by League One side Crewe Alexandra on 21 March 2016 after being spotted by head of recruitment Neil Baker.[8] He made his first team debut seven days later, in a 1–0 defeat to Bradford City at Gresty Road, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for Lauri Dalla Valle,[9][10] and started the next game, at Port Vale, on 9 April 2016.[11] He scored his first senior goal on his 20th birthday in a 3–0 win at Accrington Stanley in a Football League Trophy tie on 30 August 2016.[12]

In early 2017, Udoh spent a loan period at Solihull Moors. On 1 September 2017, Udoh signed for Northern Premier League team Halesowen Town on a two-month loan deal (along with team mate Oliver Finney).[13] The loan was extended by a further month in early November.[14] He subsequently went on loan to Chester[15] and to Leamington.[16] Having played no first-team games for Crewe in the previous season, on 9 May 2018, Crewe manager David Artell announced Udoh would not be offered a new contract at the club.[17]

AFC Telford United

[edit]

In June 2018, Udoh signed for AFC Telford United of the National League North.[18] He was a prolific goal scorer during his season with Telford, scoring 26 times.[19][20]

Shrewsbury Town

[edit]

On 31 May 2019, it was announced that Udoh had signed for local rivals Shrewsbury Town on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[21] He made his league debut for the club on 20 August, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute and scoring an 89th-minute winner in a 2–3 away win at Accrington Stanley.[22]

He scored the opening goal against Liverpool FC at Anfield in a 2021–22 FA Cup 3rd round game on 9 January 2022, but Shrewsbury went on to lose 4–1. Udoh finished the 2021-2022 season as Shrewsbury's leading goalscorer with 16 goals in all competitions but played only seven games the following season after injuring his anterior cruciate ligament in August 2022.[23]

Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, Udoh was offered a new contract.[24]

Wycombe Wanderers

[edit]

On 3 July 2024, Udoh joined Wycombe Wanderers having rejected the offer of a new contract with Shrewsbury Town.[25][26]

Personal life

[edit]

Udoh is a Christian.[27]
