Roland Idowu, born on the 21st of January 2002, hails from the Republic of Ireland. As a midfielder, he primarily takes up the position of a central attacking midfielder for St Mirren, where he sports the number 12 on his jersey. Standing 6ft tall (1.83m) and weighing in at 11st 6lbs (73kg), he brings considerable physical presence to the field.
Idowu started his senior career with Bohemian FC in the Premier Division of his home country, Republic of Ireland, back in August 2021. In his debut season, he featured five times in league matches for the first team, creating a solid foundation for his future career.
This stint was followed by a transfer in January 2022, where he moved to another Premier Division side in Republic of Ireland, Waterford. His time at Waterford marked a crucial phase in his development, leading to a further ambitious move two years later.
In January 2024, Idowu was snapped up by Shrewsbury Town of the English League One. Despite being a relatively short spell, this venture provided him with valuable experience of football in England.
July of the same year witnessed yet another shift in Idowu's career, with a loan move to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership. Since then, he has been steadily making his mark in Scotland. As of the 2024-25 season, he has turned out in eight league matches, netting once. He also took part in the League Cup for St Mirren with one start, and contributed in the Conference League Qualifiers, where he made three starts and one substitute appearance.
Overall, Idowu's journey reflects a persistent pursuit of progress, from the Premier Division in the Republic of Ireland, up to the Scottish Premiership. His consistent development and ambition are qualities that will no doubt serve him well as he continues to carve out his career.
