Born and raised in Greenford in West London, Adedeji first joined a football club at the age of eight when he joined local club Greenford Celtic FC. Here he played for two years before moving to Watford.[2] He played here from the age of 10 until he was 18.

Following recommendations from his former Watford teammate Marian Huja, Adedeji ended up moving to Danish 1st Division club HB Køge, where he landed in the fall of 2018, joining the club's U-19 team, but after the turn of 2019 was incorporated into the first team squad.[3] Adedeji made his official debut for HB Køge on 24 March 2019, in a league match against Hvidovre IF.[4] After a first season that ended with five league appearances, Adedeji's contract was extended in June 2019 until June 2020.[5]

In the 2019–20 season Adedeji became an important figure in the Køge team and ended the season with 29 games and 4 goals. In the summer of 2020, his contract was further extended, this time until the end of 2022.[6] After 26 league games in the 2020–21 season, he suffered a knee injury after partially tearing some ligaments. He was back after a month and a half.[7] In August 2021, Adedeji suffered an ACL injury that ended up keeping him out for the rest of the 2021–22 season.[8] He ended up signing a contract extension in January 2022 until the end of 2024.[9] He made his comeback in May 2024 in a league match against Fremad Amager.[10]

After 116 official matches with 20 goals and 16 assists for Køge, it was confirmed at the end of December 2023 that Adedeji had chosen to leave the club at the end of his contract.[11]
