More overseas-born Nigerian players continue to shine for their respective clubs, with Stoke City’s Tomi Adeloye the latest.
His second half penalty proved the only difference as Stoke City Under-21s recorded a 1-0 league win over Brighton at Clayton Wood on Friday.
After a tight first half with few chances for either side, William Collar’s foul on Mason Watkins-Clark gave Adeloye the chance to put the Young Potters ahead from 12 yards.
The next chance didn’t come until the half hour mark as visitors Brighton came within a post’s width of nicking the opener. Forward Charlie Harris unleashed a shot from 30-yards out which clipped the outside of the post.
Stoke were awarded a penalty on 63 minutes though when centre-half Watkins-Clark was tripped by Collar. Adeloye, back from a recent loan spell with Macclesfield Town, tucked the penalty down the right and past the dive of Joshua Smith to put the hosts in front.
With next Tuesday’s trip to Reading postponed, the Under-21s will be back in action on Monday 9th March when they travel to Newcastle United.
The 17-year old is highly rated at the Britannia, and is expected to be more involved with the senior squad from next season.
He is eligible to represent both England and Nigeria.
