ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Saint Louis FC announced the signing of defender Oluwatobiloba "Tobi" Adewole for the upcoming 2020 USL Championship season, pending league and federation approval.
Adewole was born in Cheverly, Maryland and attended George Washington University where he made 64 appearances and scored five goals over the 2013-2016 seasons. He also played for the Jersey Express in USL League Two and made four appearances for the club in 2016. Adewole would sign his first professional contract with Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC in 2017 and go on to make 74 appearances for the club over the past three USL Championship seasons.
