Career
editOlaofe began his career with Millwall.[2]
He moved on loan to Sutton United in February 2020.[3] He made his debut on 22 February 2020 in a 2–2 home draw with Barrow, and scored his first goal in his final game for the club, a 1–1 draw with Hartlepool United on 14 Match 2020.[4] He scored 1 goal in 5 league games for the club.[5]
He moved on loan to Scottish club St Johnstone in July 2020,[6][7] He said he was looking forward to working with St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson, who had previously been the assistant manager at Millwall.[8][9] He made his debut for the club in a 0–3 defeat away at Rangers on 12 August 2020.[10] On 5 October 2020, Olaofe returned to Millwall, having his loan terminated by mutual consent having only made two substitute appearances for the Scottish club.[11]
Later that month he returned to Sutton United on loan.[12] He scored his first goals back at the club with a hat-trick in a 5–1 defeat of King's Lynn Town on 14 November 2020.[13] On 23 May 2021 in the penultimate match of the season, Olaofe scored his 14th of the season, the third in a 3–0 victory over Hartlepool United, a win that saw Sutton move 5 points clear of Torquay United with just one match remaining, meaning Sutton were crowned champions and promoted to the Football League for the first time in their history.[14] Olaofe was Sutton's top scorer for the season (16 goals in all competitions) and won the Young Player of the Year award.[15]
In June 2021, Olaofe signed a new contract with Millwall.[16] He returned to Sutton United on loan on 31 August 2021.[17]
On 30 December 2022, it was announced that Olaofe would join Stockport County once the transfer window opened on 1 January 2023, for an undisclosed fee.[18] On 23 September, Olaofe scored a hat-trick against Wrexham in a 5–0 rout.[19]
