David Akinluyi (born 10 February 1984, in Ilesa, Nigeria) is a rugby union footballer who played on the wing for the Northampton Saints.
Career
Akinluyi played rugby while a pupil at St Olave's Grammar School and then at the University of Cambridge. He scored a try for Cambridge in the Varsity Match against Oxford in 2005.
Although not unusual for an ex-professional to play in a varsity match, Akinluyi was controversially picked to play for Cambridge in the December 2006 fixture despite the fact that he was a full-time professional.[1] He was, however, removed from the team sheet the afternoon before the game. His younger brother Didi Akinluyi played for Cambridge in the U21 varsity game that year [2]
Due to a variety of injuries he left Northampton in 2007 without ever making his full debut [3] Since then he has joined Oliver Wyman, a management consultancy specialising in the financial sector.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
He played for Old Olavians RFC from 2007-9 before joining the Birmingham and Solihull Bees on a non-contract basis for the 2009/2010.
He has been selected in the Help for Heroes squad for the 2009 Middlesex Sevens (as David Akinlui) [3]
He is in the 2009/2010 England Sevens Training Squad [4]
He is the current Captain of the Nigerian national team.[5]
