Personal life

Tagbajumi was born in Nigeria, but also holds an Italian passport.[2] His family moved to Norway when he was 5,[2] and he played youth football for Skeid.[2]

Club career

After moving to London, England with his family in 2008, Tagbajumi started playing non-league football for Kingsbury London Tigers.[2] In 2009, he signed for AD Camacha in Portugal, and spent two seasons at the club before moving to Cyprus.[2]

Strømsgodset

On 18 August 2015, Tagbajumi signed a loan deal with Strømsgodset for the remainder of the 2015 season.[2] Strømsgodset secured an option to buy the player.[3]

He played his first match for Strømsgodset when he came on as a substitute in the 82nd minute in the 4–2 win against local rivals Mjøndalen IF.[4] A week later, he scored his first two goals for the club in his home debut, a 5–0 win against FK Haugesund on 11 September 2015.[5]

After the 2015 season, Strømsgodset decided not to use the option to buy the player.

On 11 November 2016, Tagbajumi signed a one-year contract with Strømsgodset.[6]
