A product of the Brentford youth system, Oyeleke spent much of his senior years with the club away on loan, before joining Exeter City in May 2015.

He rose to prominence during the 2017–18 season and returned to the EFL to join Port Vale in June 2018. He spent nearly three seasons struggling with injuries at Vale before returning to the National League with Chesterfield in April 2021. He joined Woking for the 2023–24 season before moving to Farnborough.
