Mipo Odubeko scored four goals on loan at Port Vale in the 2022-23 season

Fleetwood Town have signed forward Mipo Odubeko, who becomes their seventh new recruit of the summer transfer window.

Odubeko, 21, was a free agent having left Portuguese second division side Maritimo earlier this summer and joins Charlie Adam's squad on a one-year contract.

The Republic of Ireland Under-21 player started on the books at West Ham United and played two FA Cup games for the Hammers' senior team.

He also had loan spells at Huddersfield Town, Doncaster Rovers and Port Vale before his spell in Portugal.

Odubeko will be eligible for Fleetwood's Carabao Cup tie at home to Championship side West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday (19:45 BST).

The Cod Army started the season with a 1-0 victory over Grimsby Town in League Two.
