Nigerian winger once registered as Man Utd's fastest player transfer-listed by Doncaster Rovers 

Through a statement on their official website, League Two club Doncaster Rovers have announced their retained and released list following the conclusion of the 2023-2024 seasons.

Manchester United academy product Deji Sotona has been transfer-listed by Doncaster Rovers, meaning he could be departing Rovers in the summer if a bid is accepted. 

Irish-born Nigerian winger Sotona arrived at Doncaster Rovers in July 2023 following a successful trial. 

However, the 21-year-old struggled for game time, making just five starts in all competitions before embarking on a loan spell at National League North side Boston United in November in search of first team football. 

Sotona joined Manchester United at the age of 13 and remained at the Old Trafford outfit until 2020 when he opted to join OGC Nice after rejecting a new contract. 

He was once registered as the fastest player on the books of Manchester United,  clocking a staggering maximum speed of 22.9mph. 

During his time in France with OGC Nice, he was loaned out to Brentford B and Kilmarnock before sealing a permanent transfer to Burnley.

Meanwhile, Nigerian winger Hakeeb Adelakun has been offered a permanent contract after his impressive loan spell in the second half of the season, registering 16 goal involvements in 19 league matches.

Arsenal academy graduate Joseph Olowu is still under contract at Doncaster Rovers and is among thirteen players retained for the 2024-2025 season.
