Early life

Uwakwe was born in Islington, London,[1] and is of Nigerian descent.[4]

Club career

Uwakwe began his career at Chelsea, after joining at the age of 8,[5] and signed on loan for Accrington Stanley in September 2020.[6] He made his Accrington debut on 8 September 2020, in an EFL Trophy tie against Leeds United U21s, and scored a hat-trick in the process.[7] He made his league debut four days later against Peterborough United, scoring a goal.[8]

On 28 January 2022, Uwakwe joined EFL League One side Crewe Alexandra on an 18-month contract,[9][10] and made his debut in Crewe's 1–0 league defeat at Gillingham on 1 February 2022.[11] On his fifth appearance for Crewe, against Oxford United, he suffered a knee injury, ruling him out for several weeks.[12] He scored his first (and only) Crewe goal in a 2-2 draw at Harrogate Town on 18 February 2023.[13] At the end of the season, he was offered a new contract by the club,[14] but on 30 June 2023, it was announced he was leaving Crewe by mutual consent.[15]

On 4 August 2023 he signed for Swindon Town.[16]

In September 2024, he joined National League side Maidenhead United on a short-term loan deal.[17]
