Emmanuel Adegboyega, born on 16 September 2003 (age 23), is a Republic of Ireland centre-half with Rotherham United. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m), he wears squad number 16 and is primarily used through the middle of defence.
His most productive league spell so far came at Dundee United in 2024-2025, when he scored three goals in 31 appearances. That season gave him a proper run of senior football and, for a young defender, a useful platform beyond the usual scraps of early-career exposure.
At Rotherham in 2026-2027, Adegboyega has made six appearances across all competitions, including four in League Two, along with outings in the League Cup and EFL Trophy. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Adegboyega’s senior career is still taking shape, with Dundee United providing his strongest run of football to date and Rotherham his current setting. For now, he profiles as a tall, developing central defender building up his experience in the English game.
