"I just want to keep scoring goals for this team , every time I step on the pitch, it's about helping Derry City win." These are the words of forward D. Akinyemi, who has quickly made a name for himself as a pivotal player this season. Since joining the club, he has brought a new edge to the attacking line.

His journey in League of Ireland Premier has seen him develop into a consistent goal-scorer. In recent months, Akinyemi's contributions have been vital. With 12 goals in just 18 appearances, he tops the team's scoring chart, and his confidence is evident in each match he plays.

Fans are delighted by his dynamic playing style, which combines speed and precision. On rainy evenings at the Brandywell, Akinyemi thrives; he adapts remarkably well to challenging conditions, creating opportunities when others struggle.

What sets him apart is not just his goal tally but his ability to link up with teammates, particularly with J. Clarke and C. Barr. Their understanding on the pitch strengthens Derry City's overall attacking strategy. As they prepare for the next round of fixtures, there's no doubt that Akinyemi will be crucial as the Candystripes aim for the top of the table. Can he maintain this form? The coming weeks will tell.
