Career

O'Donkor set the record for the youngest ever Oxford United player at the age of 16 years and 55 days when he made his debut on 8 December 2020 in an EFL Trophy tie against Forest Green Rovers.[1][2] After the match was drawn 1–1, he scored Oxford United's opening penalty in the penalty shoot-out as they won 4–1 on penalties.[1]

On 5 March 2022, O'Donkor joined National League South side Oxford City on an initial one-month loan deal.[3] He made his debut that day, scoring the third in a 5–0 defeat of Tonbridge Angels.[4] He returned to his parent club and made his league debut for Oxford United as a second-half substitute in the last game of the 2021–22 season, a 1–1 draw with Doncaster Rovers, on 30 April 2022.[5]
