Michael Folabi Dokunmu (born 9 April 2006) is a South African professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Dutch Eerste Divisie side Vitesse. He is regarded as a promising young player in South Africa.

Early life

Dokunmu was born in Kimberley, South Africa, to a Nigerian father and a South African mother.[2]

Club career

Dokunmu started his career at a number of youth clubs in South Africa before joining professional side SuperSport United.[2] In December 2019, his mother accepted a job in the Netherlands, and Dokunmu's family moved to the country.

The following summer, he went on trial with Eredivisie side Vitesse, before being accepted into their academy.[2] He signed his first professional contract with the club in August 2022.[2][3] He became Vitesse's third-youngest debutant, behind Brahim Darri and Mitchell van Bergen, when he appeared in a friendly game against SC Heerenveen.[2]

International career

Eligible to represent South Africa and Nigeria through his parents, as well as the Netherlands, he was called up to the under-17 side of the latter for a training camp in January 2023.[2][4] However, in April of the same year, he switched his international allegiance to South Africa, and was called up to their under-17 side ahead of the 2023 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.[5] He stated that he had chosen to represent South Africa as it was his birthplace, and that he hoped to represent the nation's senior squad in future.[5]

Personal life

His brother, Ethan, is also a footballer, and currently also plays in the academy of Vitesse.[2]
