Signed in 2021, Rayan Oyebade is a strong, elegant left-sided centre-half, who first featured in Claret and Blue as an U15 player. Known for his ability on the ball and reading of the game, he made his junior international debut for England at U15s.

During the 2023/24 season, he made 13 appearances in the U18s Premier League South registering a goal and an assist in a season largely hindered by injury.

In his second year as a scholar, Oyebade helped Lauris Coggin's U18s qualify for the Premier League Cup final, while captaining the side on multiple occasions in Premier League South.

Oyebade's performances were rewarded with his first professional contract, signed on 3 April 2025.
