Career

Oyenuga was born in Walthamstow[1] and began his football career by joining the Tottenham Hotspur academy in 2008. In April 2011, Oyenuga agreed a two-year deal with Tottenham and then went out on loan to Finnish side MyPa, until the end of August 2011.[2]

On 15 August 2011, he joined Bury on loan for a month,[3] making one appearance, coming on as a substitute, in a 2–1 loss against Charlton on 28 August 2011.[4] Afterwards, he left Bury. In November, Oyenuga went on trial with Southampton after scoring twice in a reserve match in a 4–1 win over Plymouth Argyle,[5] but no move was made.

In the January 2012 transfer window, Oyenuga joined Scottish Premier Side St Johnstone on loan, until the end of the season.[6] On 14 February he made his St Johnstone debut, coming on as a substitute in extra time, in a 2–1 loss against Hearts in a fifth round replay in the Scottish Cup. Two months later, he made his league debut, coming on as a substitute, in a 2–0 loss against Celtic. At the end of the season, Oyenuga returned to Tottenham and was soon released by the club.[7]

In August 2012, Oyenuga joined Hayes & Yeading United[8] He established himself in the first team, making 40 appearance and scoring eighteen in all competition. In addition, he was the club's top-scorer and helped the club avoid relegation.[9] at the end of the season it was thought that Oyenuga might leave the club.[10] The club then granted permission for him to leave the club.[11]

After leaving Hayes & Yeading United, Kudus returned to Scotland, joining Dundee United on trial, along with former team-mate Calum Butcher.[12] After impressing manager Jackie McNamara during their trial,[13] both players subsequently joined the club, Oyenuga signing a three-year contract.[14] On 22 September 2013, he made his Dundee United debut, coming on as a substitute against Motherwell.[15]

In January 2014, Kudus joined Boreham Wood until the end of the season.[16] On 25 August 2014, he was loaned out again, this time to Scottish Championship club Cowdenbeath until January 2015,[17] later extended for the rest of the 2014-15 season.[18] On 13 May 2015, he was released by Dundee United.[19]

On 6 July 2015, Oyenuga signed for Hartlepool United on a free transfer, becoming their eighth signing of the summer.[20]

On 4 May 2016, Oyenuga was named as one of three players released by Hartlepool United.
