Published: February 05, 2025
Promising central defender Deji Elerewe has been included in the English Football League Team of the Week despite Bromley suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Grimsby Town in the penultimate round of matches in League Two.
The English Football League comprises the Championship, League One and League Two.
Charlton Athletic academy graduate Elerewe joined Bromley on a permanent deal a year ago after an amazing loan spell with the club in 2023.
This season, the 21-year-old made his season debut against Gillingham FC, helping Bromley secure a clean sheet in a 3-0 win, and has since featured in three additional matches in the fourth tier.
Elerewe was at his best in the loss to Grimsby Town, posting a team-high three tackles, a game-high four interceptions and registered a team-high eight clearances.
He also showcased his aerial prowess by winning nine aerial duels, bettered only by Michael Cheek and Cameron McJannet.
Nine different teams have contributed players to the EFL Best XI, namely Burton Albion, Shrewsbury Town, Bromley, Cambridge United, Leeds United, Colchester United, AFC Wimbledon, Doncaster Rovers and Coventry City.
In a 3-4-3 formation, Elerewe is partnered in central defence by Josh Feeney (Shrewsbury) and Michael Morrison (Cambridge), and was awarded a rating of 8.41 for his efforts against Grimsby Town.
The Nigerian defender was absent from the Bromley squad in a 3-3 draw with Salford City on Tuesday, February 4.
