WYCOMBE Wanderers have re-signed former Millwall attacker Fred Onyedinma on a free transfer.
Onyedinma, 27, had two loan spells at Adams Park in 2014-15 and 2018-19 when he scored twelve goals in 51 appearances.
Onyedinma joined Wycombe on a permanent deal in the summer of 2019 and scored six goals in seventeen appearances as the Chairboys were promoted to the Championship.
He played 46 times the following season, scoring five goals, before joining Luton Town after Wycombe’s relegation.
Onyedinma won the third promotion of his career – after he was part of the Millwall squad that won the 2017 League One play-off final – in 2023 and made his first Premier League appearance at the age of 27 in 2023-24.
He played eight times in the top flight but another relegation followed.
Onyedinma joins a side sixteenth in League Two with four points from four games.
“Wycombe for me is like home,” Onyedinma said on Wanderers TV. “I’m always hungry to do my best and show what I can do.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been back to Adams Park, but I’ve always had love for the fans and Wycombe and I can’t wait to play there again.
“I’m feeling healthy and I’m older, wiser and better than I was last time I was here.
“I’ve been speaking to the gaffer for a while and the way things came across, it seemed like a perfect thing to do (to rejoin the club).
“I’ve caught up with Jack and G-Mac, and obviously with Wheels and Taf here as well, it’s good to see some old faces and lots of new ones.
“I was without a club for a while but I’m fit and just want to get my head down, work hard, come home and play at Adams Park as soon as I can.
“We had some great memories (winning the League 1 play-offs) and for all the players who took us there it was an amazing moment. I know the fans weren’t there which was a shame but I’ll always look back on it as an amazing time in my career.”
Manager Matt Bloomfield added: “Fred has been one of the stand-out performers in each of his three previous spells with Wycombe and we’re delighted that he’s agreed to come back and be part of the exciting squad that we are building here,. “Playing Premier League football last year was the reward for the hard work he’s put in throughout his career at all four levels, and demonstrates the quality he has in a number of different positions, either as a wing-back or a winger on either side of the pitch.
“He’s someone we’ve been keen to sign throughout the summer and I know there have been various options available to him, but for him to choose Wycombe Wanderers speaks volumes for the relationship he has with the club and its fans, and also his determination to help this club grow.
“This news will be hugely exciting for our supporters and I’m sure they can’t wait to see him pull the shirt on again and show what he can do. We’ve all been working extremely hard as a collective behind the scenes to continue to build this club. Fred is central to this.”
