Tomi Ameobi (born August 16, 1988)[1] is an English footballer who is contracted to Leeds United, but presently a striker on loan at Scunthorpe United. He is the younger brother of Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi. He is of Nigerian descent.
The 2007-08 season was Ameobi's first campaign in the Leeds United first team. He previously played for the club's reserve side, which finished sixth[2] in Division One Central of the Pontin's Holidays League in 2006-07.
Ameobi signed his first professional contract with Leeds United on August 8, 2007[3]. He had been offered the contract on May 8[4] but had to wait three months to sign the deal as the club had been placed under a transfer embargo.
He made his first appearance of the pre-season in Leeds United's 2-0 defeat against Unibond League side Guiseley on August 6. He started the match, which was the club's final pre-season fixture, but was replaced after 75 minutes. Ameobi made his debut for Leeds on 28 August 2007 against Portsmouth in the Football League Cup.
He was loaned out to the Championship side Scunthorpe United on 15 November.
