Kehinde Abdul Feyi Fatai (born 19 February 1990)[1] is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Greek Super League 2 club AEL.

Club career

Early career & Romanian Liga I

Fatai was in Nigeria with the Anwar-ul-Islam College[2] and played for JUTH F.C.[3] He left for Europe in July 2007,[4] joining FC Farul Constanța of Romania. Initially, he played in the third league of Romania for the reserve team and scored 11 goals in 20 games.[5] In the following 2008–09 season Fatai was promoted to Farul Constanța's senior team.[6] On 16 June 2010, he signed with Liga I club Astra Giurgiu on a free transfer, after his contract with Farul Constanța had ended.[7]

Club Brugge

On 1 September 2013, Belgian club Club Brugge confirmed Fatai’s signing on a season long loan from Astra, with an option to buy.[8] On 22 September 2013, he came on for his debut as an 80th-minute substitute and needed only seven minutes to break the deadlock with a shot in Club Brugge's 4-0 win over fierce rivals Anderlecht.[9]

AC Sparta Prague

In May 2015, Fatai signed for Czech club AC Sparta Prague on a three-year contract.[10]

As a striker, he scored only one goal in eight league matches for Sparta Prague. This bad form in front of goal led to his playing as a wide midfielder instead. After this position change, he went on to score five goals in three matches.[11]

FC Ufa

On 12 August 2016, he signed a 3-year contract with the Russian Premier League side FC Ufa.[12] He was released from his Ufa contract by mutual consent on 14 August 2018.[13]

Return to Romania

On 23 February 2023, Fatai returned to Romania and signed a contract with Oțelul Galați in Liga II until the end of the 2022–23 season, with an option to extend for one more year.[14]

International career

Fatai was called up to the Nigeria U-23 team in 2011 for a friendly against Costa Rica. On 4 June he was selected for a qualifying match for the 2012 Summer Olympics against Tanzania.[15]

On 24 October 2015, Fatai said he had promised the Romania national team officials that he would represent Romania on the senior level upon gaining citizenship.[16]

Personal life

Kehinde Fatai's twin brother, Taiye is also a footballer who spent most of his career in the lower leagues of Romania playing for teams like FCM Alexandria or ACS Berceni.[17][18][19] Another one of his brothers, Yunus is a footballer who played in the lower leagues of Romania at Astra II and Dacia Unirea Brăila.[20] He has a total of four brothers and a sister.[21]
