Timothy Joel "TJ" Eyoma (born 29 January 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender most recently for Lincoln City.
Eyoma was born and raised in Hackney and attended Highbury Grove School. His brother Aaron Eyoma or "AJ" is also a footballer, who was previously at Arsenal and Derby County.[4] [5] Eyoma played youth football at Clissold Rangers[6] and Islington-based club Crown & Manor.[7]
Described as comfortable at centre back and right back, in September 2018 Eyoma signed a professional contract with Spurs until 2021.[8] On 4 January 2019 he was named as a substitute against Tranmere Rovers for the FA Cup match at Prenton Park and came on to make his first team debut.[9]
On 30 January 2020, Eyoma joined Lincoln City on loan until the end of the 2019–20 season.[10] But due to the COVID-19 pandemic cutting short the season, he did not feature for the club and returned to Tottenham Hotspur without making an appearance. On 11 August 2020, Eyoma rejoined Lincoln City on a season-long loan until the end of the 2020–21 campaign.[11] shortly after signing a new three-year contract with Tottenham.[12] He made his Lincoln City debut against Crewe Alexandra in the EFL Cup on the opening day of the season.[13] On 17 August 2021 it was announced by Lincoln City that Eyoma would rejoin the Imps for a third time, as a permanent signing for an undisclosed fee.[14] He made his first appearance as a full-time Lincoln City player in the EFL Trophy against Manchester United U21.[15] The club announced he would be released following the end of the 2023–24 season.[16]
Born in England, Eyoma is of Nigerian descent.[17] Eyoma was part of the England side that won the U17 World Cup in India.[18]
