Funso Ojo player profile

Port Vale added Belgian midfielder Funso Ojo as their second signing of the summer of 2021.

The experienced 30 year-old had previously played for Aberdeen, Scunthorpe United and Wigan Athletic as well as several clubs in the Netherlands. A former Belgian U21 International, Ojo had made over 300 career appearances.

Director of Football David Flitcroft commented on the move saying: “As a club, we’ve been in League Two for a long time, and we’re about to make the step up to a league that has got some big hitters and teams with fantastic managers and squads that have League One experience and you look at that and you want to want to make sure that we add that experience to strengthen what we’ve already got and we also want to add to the intelligence levels of the players.”

Ojo made his full debut on the opening game of the 2022-23 season – a 2-1 win over Fleetwood. He was a regular when fit in the centre of midfield during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 season but subsequently moved on loan to Shrewsbury Town in August 2024. He returned to the club and did feature frequently in the 2025-2026 season but was released in the summer.
