[edit]Having come through the Charlton Athletic academy, Ojo joined Yeovil Town in June 2017 signing a youth scholarship deal.[2][3] On 6 November 2018, Ojo made his debut for Yeovil in an EFL Trophy 4–0 group stage victory against West Ham United under-23s.[4] In December 2018, Ojo was awarded his first professional contract with Yeovil committing him to the club until June 2021.[5] On 23 February 2019, Ojo made his English Football League debut in a 1–0 victory over Cambridge United.[6]
In September 2019, Ojo joined Southern League Division One South club Melksham Town on loan until January 2020.[7]
On 10 January 2020, Ojo left Yeovil after the club reluctantly agreed to mutually terminate his contract to allow him to be closer to his home in London.[8]
On 26 August 2021, Ojo signed for National League South side Billericay Town.[9] and joined Cheshunt F.C. on a dual loan registration deal.[citation needed]
