About the player
David Akintola Idowu started his career at Real Sapphire FC in Nigeria. In July 2019 he moved abroad on a free transfer, joining Latvian side BFC Daugavpils, where he became a regular starter as a defensive midfielder. He stayed with the club until October 2024.
Idowu joined Arda Kardzhali on a free transfer at the end of October 2024. He has settled into the Bulgarian First League as a defensive midfielder, and among his displays for Arda was a man-of-the-match performance against Botev Plovdiv in 2025.
He has not won a league title or domestic cup at any of his clubs, and his time in Latvia and Bulgaria has largely been with mid-table teams rather than sides competing for silverware. Idowu holds Nigerian citizenship and has not represented the national side at senior level, nor does he have caps for any Nigerian youth team.
