Partick Thistle FC is pleased to announce the signing of Tomi Adeloye on a season-long loan deal from Swindon Town, subject to international clearance.
The Englishman will be best known to fans of Scottish football for the one season he spent with Ayr United, scoring 14 goals in 38 games including 11 league strikes.
Born in South-East London, Tomi spent time in the youth systems at Charlton and Milwall before signing his first professional deal with Stoke City.
The forward would go on to spend a few years turning out in English non-league football eventually finding consistent playing time during stints with Dagenham and Redbridge, Ebbsfleet Town and Barnet.
Signed by Ayr in 2021, his form as an Honest Man earned him a move to EFL League Two side Swindon Town though gametime has been limited at The County Ground with just one of his 13 league appearances coming from the start.
Tomi will wear number 99 during his time at the Wyre Stadium at Firhill.

Thistle manager Kris Doolan said:
“I think Tomi will be a great addition to our frontline. He showed during his time at Ayr that when he gets consistent gametime, he’s capable of finding the back of the net regularly.
“That being said, he’ll have to work really hard to get into our team because we have a lot firepower up front but hopefully that competition drives everyone on. I know myself how it feels when you’re one of a few striking options – you know you have to perform.”
“Tomi is the kind of striker that will make centre-halves sweat. He’s strong, he’s clever and he can link up with the players around him brilliantly so I’m excited to work with him.”
