Dominic Daniel Udoh (born 30 August 1996) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for National League North side Telford United.

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.[2] He later moved on to the Stevenage Academy on a two-year scholarship.[2] 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.[2] He signed on non-contract terms alongside former teammate Harold Joseph with Kidderminster Harriers.[2] Kidderminster loaned him out to Worcester City, Wingate & Finchley and Grays Athletic, but he became frustrated by a lack of match time.[2] 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.[2] He remained a first team regular after Andy Watson replaced Strachan as manager in October, forming a successful partnership with Lee Ndlovu.[2]

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.[3] 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,[4][5] and started the next game, at Port Vale, on 9 April 2016.[6] 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.[7]

In early 2017, Udoh spent a loan period at Solihull Moors. On 1 September 2017, Udoh signed for Northern Premier League team Halesowen Town on a two-month loan deal (along with team mate Oliver Finney).[8] The loan was extended by a further month in early November.[9] He subsequently went on loan to Chester[10] and to Leamington.[11] Having played no first-team games for Crewe in the previous season, on 9 May 2018, Crewe manager David Artell announced Udoh would not be offered a new contract at the club.[12] He joined Telford the following month.[13]
