Career

West Ham United

Fawunmi was in the West Ham United youth academy, having joined at U15 level.[3] He signed scholarship terms ahead of the 2022–23 season, in which he was a member of their FA Youth Cup winning team.[4] He signed a short-term contract upon the conclusion of his scholarship as he recovered from injury, but declined the offer of a new contract during the 2024–25 season and left the club on 31 January 2025.[5][6]

Stoke City

Fawunmi joined EFL Championship club Stoke City on 7 February 2025, signing a two-and-a-half year contract, after a brief trial.[7] He was immediately included in the Stoke match-day squad for their FA Cup fourth round tie against Cardiff City on 8 February 2025 and made his debut as a second-half substitute as Stoke lost on penalties following a 3–3 draw.[8] Fawunmi joined League One side Leyton Orient on 2 February 2026, for the remainder of the 2025–26 season.[9] His loan at Leyton Orient was cut short on 2 April 2026, due to a hamstring injury.[10]

On 30 July 2026, Fawunmi joined League Two club Oldham Athletic on a season-long loan deal.[11]
