Loan Report: Umolu nets first goal, Rak-Sakyi strikes again, Whitworth impresses

Club

3 Nov 2025

In a week that saw Jemiah Umolu score his first goal for Bromley, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi continue his fine form in Turkey, and Joe Whitworth deliver a standout performance for Exeter City, it’s time for our latest look at how the Eagles are faring away from Selhurst Park.

Jemiah Umolu – Bromley FC

Umolu opened his Bromley account in the Ravens’ narrow 2–1 FA Cup First Round defeat to Bristol Rovers.

Introduced in the 69th minute after Ben Thompson’s injury, the Palace youngster almost made an instant impact, meeting a precise lofted pass from Pinnock with a powerful header that skimmed just over the bar.

After Rovers went 2–0 up through goals from Cavegn and Joel Cotterill, Umolu halved the deficit in the 83rd minute – a reward for his persistence. A brilliant piece of skill from Pinnock set up Krauhaus, whose looping cross found Umolu, and the forward rose highest to nod home his first goal in Bromley colours.

Next up for the Ravens is a return to League Two action away at Colchester United on Saturday.

David Ozoh – Derby County

Ozoh completed his third consecutive 90 minutes as Derby County made it three league wins in a row, defeating Sheffield United 3–1 at Bramall Lane on Saturday (1st November).

Carlton Morris was the star of the show, netting a hat-trick – his first coming from a Joe Ward corner midway through the first half, before adding two more after the break. Callum O’Hare’s 72nd-minute strike proved a mere consolation for the hosts.

The victory followed back-to-back home wins over Norwich City and Queens Park Rangers, with Ozoh playing an integral role in John Eustace’s resurgent side.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi – Çaykur Rizespor

Rak-Sakyi continued his scintillating form by scoring his fourth goal in as many games during Rizespor’s 1–1 draw with Samsunspor on Tuesday (27th October).

After falling behind early, the Palace loanee struck just before half-time – expertly controlling a lofted pass after a sequence of flick-ons before firing emphatically into the roof of the net.

Rizespor currently sit 12th in the Turkish Süper Lig, level on 10 points with Kasimpasa and Antalyaspor. Rak-Sakyi is in action tonight (3rd November) against Fatih Karagümrük.

Joe Whitworth – Exeter City

Whitworth was in excellent form between the sticks as Exeter City booked their place in the FA Cup Second Round with a 2–0 victory over Halifax Town.

After Danny Andrew gave the Grecians an early lead, Whitworth produced several important stops to preserve their advantage – first denying Harris with a smart save at his near post, before comfortably gathering Latty-Fairweather’s low drive moments later.

His best save came on the hour mark, acrobatically tipping Owen Bray’s fierce effort over the bar to keep Halifax at bay.

Owen Goodman – Huddersfield Town

Goodman was an unused substitute in Huddersfield’s 2–1 FA Cup First Round defeat to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

Despite Bojan Radulović pulling the Terriers level in the second half, they were ultimately knocked out of the competition. Huddersfield now turn their attention to Tuesday’s Vertu Trophy clash away to Mansfield Town.

Matheus França – Vasco da Gama

França featured for 32 minutes in Vasco da Gama’s 2–0 defeat to São Paulo on Sunday (2nd November) in the Brazilian Série A.

Vasco currently sit ninth in the league on 42 points, six behind Botafogo in the race for CONMEBOL Libertadores qualification.

Hindolo Mustapha – FC Nürnberg

Mustapha was absent for both FC Nürnberg’s 2–1 win over Eintracht Braunschweig and Nürnberg II’s 2–0 success against SpVgg Bayreuth at the weekend.

Victor Akinwale – Eastbourne Borough

Akinwale was an unused substitute as Eastbourne Borough secured a 2–1 National League South victory over Enfield Town on Saturday (1st November).

Tayo Adaramola – Leyton Orient

After helping the O’s to a memorable FA Cup run last season – which included a Fourth Round tie against Manchester City – Adaramola was absent from Leyton Orient’s recent 1–0 victories over Lincoln City and Aston Villa U21s in the Vertu Trophy.

The young full-back will be hoping to feature this evening (3rd November, 19:30 GMT) when Orient take on Tamworth in the FA Cup First Round.
