Ola-Adebomi joined Palace aged eight in 2012 and has repeatedly progressed through the age groups, coming on as the Under-15s won the national Super Floodlit Cup final for the first time in club history in 2019.
He scored twice from the bench in his breakthrough Under-18s season in 2020/21, both in seven goal victories over West Bromwich Albion, and he made seven appearances towards the end of the season.
He then became a core part of the squad in 2021/22, signing his first professional contract in April 2022. He said: "It’s what I’ve dreamed of since the age of eight, since I joined the Academy. To get a professional contract here means the world to me."
His performances in the 21/22 season saw him net 19 goals in all competitions, including a hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur. He earned a place in the 2022/23 pre-season squad which travelled to Australia and Sinagpore.
The forward managed to notch 31 appearances in all competitions, scoring 10 goals - including the winner against Hertha Berlin in Palace's first ever game in the Premier League International Cup.
Ola-Adebomi was named on the first-team bench for the first time in September 2023, for the third round tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford. He was also named in the squad again for Palace's Premier League fixtures against Man Utd and Nottingham Forest.
He won the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award in November 2023, for his hat-trick against Leeds United and goals against Stevenage and Birmingham City.
The forward scored 13 goals in 18 appearances for the Under-21s across all competitions in the first half of 2023/24, before moving on loan to Burton Albion in January 2024.
He made 14 appearances for The Brewers, scoring once against Peterborough United and registering two assists, as he helped the side stay in League One on the final day of the season.
After the conclusion of his loan spell at Burton, Ola-Adebomi featured for the U21s in the final of the Premier League International Cup against PSV at Selhurst Park to help the side over the line in a 1-0 win.
The forward moved on loan to Belgian outfit SK Beveren at the start of the 2024/25 campaign. He made eight appearances in total for the Challenger Pro League side before returning in January 2025.
In February 2025, Ola-Adebomi was nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award once again, after netting five times in three wins.
