Career
He earned a contract with Cambridge United for the 2005–06 season after impressing with three goals in as many games in pre-season friendlies. This followed unsuccessful spells at Huddersfield Town, Barnsley, and Peterborough United F.C.; however, having established himself as a first-team player and regular goal scorer at Cambridge, he was released at the end of 2005–06.
Onibuje became Swindon manager Dennis Wise's second signing of the 2006 pre-season, signing a three-month contract that was later extended to a year in late August of the same year. He signed for Brentford on a two-month loan on November 10, 2006, to cover for injured target man Lloyd Owusu,[2] after he was considered surplus to requirements by newly appointed Swindon boss Paul Sturrock. He was recalled by Swindon on December 30, 2006, but on January 1, 2007, he moved clubs again, this time to Wycombe Wanderers. He then signed for St. Albans City.
He was released by Wycombe Wanderers on July 27, 2007, with a year still remaining on his contract after failing to impress manager Paul Lambert. He was announced as a non-contract player for Shrewsbury Town on August 10, 2007; however, while he impressed, scoring in a reserve game, manager Gary Peters opted not to offer him a full-time contract and released him to find a new club.[3]
