Tayo Adaramola Out Of Leyton Orient, As Okoronkwo Moves To Doncaster Rovers

Two Nigerian-born players have received totally different tales in England’s third-tier division, League One, as Tayo Adaramola is leaving Leyton Orient after a short spell, while Francis Okoronkwo arrives at Doncaster Rovers.

Sports 247 gathered that, while 22-year-old Adaramola was on loan at Orient, where his agreement was abruptly cut short, Okoronkwo had a similar deal at Lincoln City from top-flight side, Everton.

Adaramola made 18 appearances for The O’s but now returns to English Premier League giant-killers, Crystal Palace, from where he arrived in the summer on a season-long deal.

Adaramola, who can play at left-back and left wing-back, featured 16 times on loan at Bradford City last season as The Bantams secured promotion to League One, while Okoronkwo was recalled from a similar spell at Lincoln City.

The 21-year-old Okoronkwo, who scored twice in 20 appearances for The Imps, including one against his new club in November, arrives on a deal that is expected to run for the rest of the season.

“It’s been some tough few months with game time but, coming here, I feel like I’m going to get more of that and a lot more chances to show what I’m all about and why I should be playing more,” Okoronkwo said
