Club career

[edit | edit source]

In July 2019, he signed a first team professional contract with Morecambe in the EFL League Two, after previously being part of the club's academy.[6] He was given the contract after having attracted interest from a number of clubs such as Brentford, Watford, Leeds United and West Brom.[7][8] In December 2019, he was loaned to Lancaster City in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.[9] In October 2020, he departed Morecambe, with his contract being terminated but the club retaining a sell-on clause, after he had gone on numerous trials with other clubs (with Morecambe's permission).[10]

In March 2021, he signed with Cardiff City, joining their Under-23 side on a contract until June 2022.[11][12][13] He spent a year with the U23s, regularly captaining the side.[14][15]

In September 2022, he joined Weymouth in the National League South.[16] He made his debut on 13 September against Bath City.[17] However, by 24 September, he had departed the club.[18]

In October 2022, he signed with Kettering Town in the National League North.[19][20] He made his debut for the club on 11 October in a Northamptonshire Senior Cup match against Daventry Town and then made his league debut on 15 October against Spennymoor Town.[21]

On 2 December 2022, he signed with Macclesfield in the Northern Premier League Division One West.[22] He scored on his debut on 3 December against Colne.[23] On 15 December, he departed the club.[22]

In January 2023, he signed with Cheshunt in the National League South.[24][25] He made an appearance for the club in a friendly against Watford U21.[26]

In March 2023, he signed with Canadian Premier League club Vancouver FC.[27][28] On 7 May 2023 (his 21st birthday), he earned Man of the Match honours in Vancouver's first ever home match and was subsequently named to the CPL Team of the Week.[29][30][31] After the season, he parted ways with the club to pursue other opportunities.[32][33]

In August 2024, Bakare returned to England, joining League Two club Cheltenham Town following a successful trial period.[34][35] In October 2025, he was loaned to National League club Gateshead until 9 January 2026.[36][37]
