Club career

Early career & Romanian Liga I

Fatai was in Nigeria with the Anwar-ul-Islam College[4] and played for JUTH F.C.[5] He left for Europe in July 2007,[6] 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.[7] In the following 2008–2009 season Fatai was promoted to Farul Constanța's senior team.[8] On 16 June 2010, he signed with Liga I club Astra Giurgiu on a free transfer, after his contract with Farul Constanța had ended.[9]

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.[10] 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.[11]

AC Sparta Prague

In May 2015, Fatai signed for Czech club AC Sparta Prague on a three-year contract.[12]

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.[13]

FC Ufa

On 12 August 2016, he signed a 3-year contract with the Russian Premier League side FC Ufa.[14] He was released from his Ufa contract by mutual consent on 14 August 2018.[15]

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.[16]

On 24 October 2015, Fatai said he had promised the Romanian national team officials that he would represent Romania on the senior level upon gaining citizenship.[17]

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.[18][19][20] Another one of his brothers, Yunus is a footballer who played in the lower leagues of Romania at Astra II and Dacia Unirea Brăila.[21] He has a total of four brothers and a sister.[22]
