After leaving Luton Town at the end of the previous season, winger Fred Onyedinma has officially signed with Wycombe Wanderers.
After being a free agent this summer, the 27-year-old signs on a free transfer to rejoin Wycombe for his fourth stint with the Chairboys.
Having had good spells at Adams Park in the past, Onyedinma had been on trial with Stoke City in the Championship in recent weeks, but he ultimately chose to play in League One. The League One team will benefit greatly from the deal as they try to bolster their roster under manager Matt Bloomfield.
“Fred has been one of the stand-out performers in each of his three previous spells with Wycombe and we’re delighted that he’s agreed to come back and be part of the exciting squad that we are building here,” Bloomfield said in a statement posted on the club’s official website.
“Playing Premier League football last year was the reward for the hard work he’s put in throughout his career at all four levels, and demonstrates the quality he has in a number of different positions, either as a wing-back or a winger on either side of the pitch,” Bloomfield said, praising Onyedinma’s versatility and work ethic.
Bloomfield further highlighted Onyedinma’s decision to return to Wycombe despite other options being on the table: “He’s someone we’ve been keen to sign throughout the summer and I know there have been various options available to him, but for him to choose Wycombe Wanderers speaks volumes for the relationship he has with the club and its fans, and also his determination to help this club grow.”
Onyedinma began his professional career at Millwall, where he came through the club’s youth system and made his senior debut in 2014. He spent several years with the Lions, becoming a key part of their squad as they battled in both League One and the Championship. During his time at Millwall, he also had two loan spells with the Chairboys, where he made a strong impact and became a fan favourite.
In 2019, Onyedinma made a permanent move to Adams Park, where he played an important role in their promotion to the Championship. His versatility, playing both as a winger and wing-back, was crucial for the Chairboys as they adapted to life in the second tier. After two successful seasons with Wycombe, he moved to Luton Town in 2021, helping the club secure promotion to the Premier League for the 2023-24 season. Onyedinma appeared in the Premier League, but Luton’s subsequent relegation saw him released at the end of the campaign.
