Playing career edit
As a child, Adejubu would sneak out to watch his favorite team, Sunshine Stars, conduct training sessions.[2]
Adejubu initially played with the Sunshine Stars' youth team, third-tier side Akure City, before he was promoted to the first team in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) in January 2019.[3] He made his professional debut on 11 February, coming on for Chibundu Amah during a 2–0 victory at home over Katsina United.[4] He "shone in his debut season" in the league, and received further attention for his performance in the 2019 NPFL/ La Liga U15 Promises Tournament.[5] After two seasons of sparse playing time, he cemented himself as a part of the first-team squad in the 2020–21 NPFL season.[2][6]
In late 2021, Adejubu signed with Shooting Stars.[7] In June 2022, he trialled with the Djurgårdens IF U21 side in Sweden.[8]
Adejubu signed with Kwara United ahead of the 2023–24 NPFL season.[9]
