Woking Football Club is delighted to announce that Tunji Akinola has signed a new one-year contract extension.

The defender/midfielder, 26, has signed a new deal that will run until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Akinola started his career at West Ham United, coming through the academy. He featured 33 times in League Two on loan at Leyton Orient in 2020/21. A permanent move to Partick Thistle followed in the summer of 2021, featuring 34 times in the Scottish Championship.

Since signing for the Cards in the summer of 2023, he has made 76 appearances and scored 6 goals. He also captained the side for the final two matches of the 2024/25 campaign.

Director of Football, Jody Brown, said, “I spoke to Tunji about extending within a month or two of starting my role at the club back in December”.

“Reliable, consistent, versatile, low maintenance, team player, durable, and a really important part of the jigsaw”.

“I speak on behalf of the entire football department when I say we are happy to have him on board”.

Tunji is available for player sponsorship for the 2025/26 season. Contact commercial@wokingfc.co.uk for more details.
