Dominic Daniel Udoh (born 30 August 1996) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for League One side Crewe Alexandra.
Playing career
Udoh was born in Lagos, Nigeria, then came to England with his family at the age of nine, and as a teenager joined the Luton Town development squad.[3] He later moved on to the Stevenage Academy on a two-year scholarship.[3] He was called up to the Nigeria under-17 squad, however Stevenage were concerned that he spent too much time on international duty and released him.[3] He signed on non-contract terms alongside former teammate Harold Joseph with Kidderminster Harriers.[3] Kidderminster loaned him out to Worcester City, Wingate & Finchley and Grays Athletic, but he became frustrated by a lack of match time.[3] He was invited to a trial at Ilkeston by manager Gavin Strachan, and impressed in pre-season enough to earn a one-year contract in 2015.[3] He remained a first team regular after Andy Watson replaced Strachan as manager in October, forming a successful partnership with Lee Ndlovu.[3]
Crewe Alexandra
He was signed for an undisclosed fee by League One side Crewe Alexandra on 21 March 2016 after being spotted by head of recruitment Neil Baker.[4] He made his first team debut seven days later, in a 1–0 defeat to Bradford City at Gresty Road, coming on as a 70th-minute substitute for Lauri Dalla Valle,[5][6] and started the next game, at Port Vale, on 9 April 2016.[7] He scored his first senior goal on his 20th birthday in a 3-0 win at Accrington Stanley in a Football League Trophy tie on 30 August 2016.[8]
