Player Profile:

Nigerian-born striker who started his career with the academies of Arsenal, AFC Wimbledon and Charlton Athletic. Victor moved to Leyton Orient in the summer of 2014. He performed well in Orient's U18 side and progressed to the reserve team.

He made his first-team debut as a sub in a 2-1 defeat at home to Peterborough United in League One on 13.12.14.

In February 2015, Victor was loaned to Southern League club Royston Town and scored on his debut in a 2-0 win at Aylesbury United on 21.2.15.

In the first half of 2015-16, he was loaned to Isthmian League Heybridge Swifts. Ahead of the start of the 2016-17 season, Victor went on another loan to Dulwich Hamlet. He then joined Soham Town Rangers on loan at the start of September 2016.

He came to Margate on loan in November 2016, scoring on his debut in a 1-1 draw at home to East Thurrock United in the FA Trophy on 26.11.16. He won and converted a penalty in the 70th minute.

He told Kent Online: "I didn’t know too much about Margate apart from it was far from home but it's a good opportunity to just come down and play some games."

He also scored in a 2-1 defeat at home to Charlton Athletic in the Kent Senior Cup on 14.12.16. Victor made one more appearance for the club, at Hungerford in the next match, before being recalled by Orient. He had played six games and scored twice for Margate. 

On 17.4.17, Victor scored his first goal for Orient's first-team in a 2-1 home win over Hartlepool United in League Two.

After 18 first-team appearances, Victor left Orient in the summer of 2017. After a trial with Chelsea, playing for their under-23s, he signed for League One Barnsley on a three-year deal. He scored on his debut in a 4-0 home win over Oxford United on 4.8.18. In December 2018, Victor signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal until the summer of 2021.

In July 2019, Victor joined Bristol Rovers of League One on loan for the 2019-20 season. But the agreement was cut short and he instead started a loan at League Two club Cambridge United until the end of the campaign.

In February 2021, Barnsley triggered a clause in Victor’s contract which saw him sign a new one-year contract extension. In his time at Barnsley, Victor scored nine goals in 93 appearances.

Following Barnsley’s relegation from the Championship in 2022, Victor joined League One side Burton Albion. On 1.10.22, he scored a first senior hat-trick in a 3-2 home win over Forest Green. He scored 13 times in 34 appearances for the Brewers.

In January 2023, Victor moved to League One club Bolton Wanderers for an undisclosed fee.
