PLAYER BIO
Young winger - comfortable on either flank - who joined the Pitmen from Pitching In Southern Premier League Central side Bromsgrove Sporting in July 2024
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, but brought up in the Republic of Ireland, Alamu-Tajudeen - also known as 'Razza' - came through the youth system at League of Ireland side Shelbourne, playing for the U17 and U19 sides during the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 campaigns before the 2020-2021 season was badly affected by COVID. In January 2021, Alamu-Tajudeen moved to England to join Vanarama National League South Chippenham Town's youth set-up, playing for the U23 side in the National Football Youth League in 2021-2022 and earning a call-up to the first team in December 2021, making his bow as a late substitute for the Bluebirds in a Boxing Day derby clash against Bath City
In November 2023, the youngster left Chippenham and headed to Northern Premier League Midland side Walsall Wood for a spell, making thirteen appearances at Oak Park before stepping up a level to join Sporting in March 2024 for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season
His quick wing play and adaptability caught the attention of new Hednesford manager Steve King, who snapped up Alamu-Tajudeen in July 2024 following the Pitmen's first pre-season friendly at Coleshill Town
After finding himself in and out of the squad during the first half of the season, Alamu-Tajudeen joined league and local rivals Stafford Rangers on a month's loan in a bid to gain more first-team football in December 2024
