Career

edit

Reading and Watford

edit

Ikpeazu was born in Harrow, London to an Igbo Nigerian father and a Ugandan mother.[4] Ikpeazu joined Reading's academy in late 2010.[5][6] He signed for Southern League Division One South & West club Didcot Town on loan in November 2011 and scored twice in three games,[6] including the 3–1 FA Trophy win against Conference Premier team Bromley.[7] In the 2012–13 season, his final for the under-18s, he scored 28 goals in as many games, finishing as the top scorer in the country at academy level.[8]

Reading offered him a professional contract. However, he turned it down and instead signed a three-year contract with fellow Championship club Watford in July 2013.[8][9] Due to his age Watford were required to pay compensation which, after six months of negotiations, was agreed in January 2014 with the fee remaining undisclosed.[10] The same month, having yet to make his first-team debut for Watford, Ikpeazu joined League One club Crewe Alexandra on loan until the end of the season.[11] He made his debut at Gresty Road as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 defeat to Leyton Orient on 18 January,[12] and scored his first goals in professional football with two goals against Bradford City three weeks later.[13]

Ikpeazu returned to Crewe on 26 November 2014, on a loan deal until 25 January 2015.[14] Two days later he scored in a 1–1 home draw with Doncaster Rovers.[15] After the loan deal ended he joined Doncaster Rovers on loan.[16] He was reported to have been viewed as a possible permanent signing by manager Paul Dickov, but returned to Watford in March after failing to impress at the Keepmoat Stadium.[17][18] He then returned to Crewe on loan after manager Steve Davis admitted that he was unable to replace Ikpeazu during his absence.[19]

Ikpeazu joined League One club Port Vale on a six-month loan in July 2015, having impressed manager Rob Page playing against the Vale for Crewe the previous season.[20] He started the campaign as the club's main striker. Though he dropped out of the first XI against Oldham Athletic on 29 September, he came off the bench to score an equalising goal.[21] Page was hopeful of extending the loan deal until the end of the season, as Ikpeazu was the club's top-scorer throughout the early stages of the campaign.[22] However, he lost his first-team place after being sent off against Burton Albion on 24 October as A-Jay Leitch-Smith entered the team and found a rich vein of form.[23] Despite Ikpeazu still being the club's top-scorer his loan spell was not extended in January.[24] He remained in League One however, as he joined Blackpool on loan until the end of the 2015–16 season.[25] Ikpeazu was then released by Watford upon the expiry of his contract.[26]

Cambridge United

edit

Ikpeazu had a trial at Championship club Norwich City in July 2016 and scored in a pre-season friendly against Dereham Town.[27] He signed a short-term contract with League Two club Cambridge United the following month.[28] He scored his first goal for Cambridge in a 2–1 win over Newport County at Rodney Parade on 24 September, and manager Shaun Derry said he was becoming a "cult figure" at the club.[29][30] On 9 January 2017, Ikpeazu scored for Cambridge in a 2–1 FA Cup third round defeat to Championship team Leeds United.[31] On 23 February, he was ruled out of action for eight weeks with a hamstring injury.[32] He ended the 2016–17 campaign with eight goals in 36 appearances and underwent surgery after dislocating his shoulder at Portsmouth on 22 April.[33]

On 9 December 2017, Ikpeazu was sent off in a 2–0 at former club Port Vale after receiving two yellow cards in two minutes.[34] In April 2018 "U's" announced that they "had tabled a series of strong and competitive packages at League Two level. However, the club can confirm that Ikpeazu has declined the offers put forward, making his desire to play at a higher level clear in each conversation".[35]

Heart of Midlothian

edit

Ikpeazu signed a pre-contract agreement with Scottish Premiership club Heart of Midlothian in April 2018, with a two-year contract which took effect from 1 July 2018.[36] He said he was attracted to the club by the size of Tynecastle Park and faith shown in him by manager Craig Levein.[37] He signed an extended contract with the club in March 2019 after stating that "I feel the love" following the club's support during a four-month injury lay-off with a broken foot.[38] Old Firm clubs Celtic and Rangers were reported to have expressed an interest in bidding for his services.[39] Hearts reached the 2019 Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park, where they lost 2–1 to Celtic, with Ikpeazu replacing Steven MacLean on 78 minutes.[40]

He lost his first-team place under Daniel Stendel by the time the 2019–20 season was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland.[41] He was expected to be sold or released in the summer transfer window after club chair Ann Budge asked the playing staff to take a temporary 50% pay cut due to the pandemic.[4]

Wycombe Wanderers

edit

On 17 August 2020, Ikpeazu signed a three-year deal for newly-promoted Championship club Wycombe Wanderers.[42] Manager Gareth Ainsworth said that "we feel he's perfectly suited for the way we play" and saw him as a long-term replacement for Adebayo Akinfenwa.[43] He scored his first goal for the "Chairboys" in 3–1 defeat by Middlesbrough at Adams Park on 2 January, as he "curled in a beautiful effort from 20 yards (18 m)" for his first goal since September 2019.[44] He recovered from an injury later in the year and went on to score six goals in 33 appearances during the 2020–21 season, including the winning goal against Bournemouth on 1 May which took Wycombe's relegation fight to the last day of the campaign.[45][46][47] They were relegated despite beating Middlesbrough on the final day.[48] Ikpeazu came second in the Supporters' Player of the Year vote, and his goals against Brentford and Bournemouth came second and third respectively in the goal of the season vote.[49]

Middlesbrough

edit

On 2 July 2021, Ikpeazu returned to the Championship to sign for Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract.[50][51] Manager Neil Warnock said that he had tracked the players since his time at Hearts.[52] He scored three goals in 22 games, but was not in new manager Chris Wilder's first-team plans after he signed Aaron Connolly and Folarin Balogun on loan during the January transfer window to compliment in-form forwards Josh Coburn and Duncan Watmore.[53][54]

Cardiff City

edit

On 31 January 2022, Ikpeazu joined Championship club Cardiff City on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[55] Steve Morison, manager of the Bluebirds, had needed a quick replacement after Kieffer Moore forced through a late move to AFC Bournemouth.[56] Middlesbrough had wanted to offload Ikpeazu on a permanent transfer but relented with Cardiff's request for it to be a loan signing.[57] On 2 February, he came on as a substitute against Barnsley to make his Cardiff debut. He scored the winning goal in a 1–0 victory.[58] Despite only starting one game for the Bluebirds, he made a further twelve appearances from the bench and scored a total of three goals and was a popular figure with supporters at the Cardiff City Stadium.[59][60]

Konyaspor

edit

On 13 August 2022, Ikpeazu signed with Turkish Süper Lig side Konyaspor on a free transfer with a sell-on clause.[61][62] He was sent off after receiving two yellow cards during a 2–2 draw at Trabzonspor on 6 November.[63] His contract with Konyaspor was terminated in early September 2023.[64] Ikpeazu was reported to be close to a return to Wycombe Wanderers, but the deal failed to materialize.[65][66]

Port Vale

edit

On 4 October 2023, Ikpeazu signed a contract with Port Vale to run until the end of the 2023–24 season.[67] Director of football, David Flitcroft, stated that "Uche is a powerhouse of a player and provides us with another dimension that combines and compliments our other attacking options and we have brought him in at this stage of the season to provide further competition for places".[68] He was short of match fitness on his arrival. Hence, manager Andy Crosby began steadily giving him more game minutes as the weeks progressed.[69] He played a full 90 minutes for the first time on 14 November, and was described by opposition manager Dino Maamria as "unplayable" in a 2–0 win at Burton Albion.[70] He scored his first goal in his second spell for the club on 6 January, in a 3–3 draw with Charlton Athletic, and was named on the EFL team of the week having made six shots, won five aerial duels and completed four dribbles during the game.[71] Charlton had a transfer bid accepted for the player later in the month but the move never materialised.[72] Instead the player picked up a dislocated shoulder and was ruled out of action until mid-April.[73] He did though return to fitness two weeks ahead of schedule.[74] He scored one goal from 26 games as the club were relegated and he then entered negotiations for a new contract.[75]

St Johnstone

edit

On 30 May 2024, Ikpeazu agreed to a two-year contract with Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone, who were managed by his former boss at Hearts, Craig Levein.[76] Ikpeazu suffered an accident at home just before the start of pre-season, however, and the resulting "freak injury" left him requiring knee surgery and ruled him out of action until October.[77]

International career

edit

Ikpeazu was called up to the Uganda squad by head coach Johnathan McKinstry for two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches in March 2020, but the games were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda.[78] McKinstry's successor, Milutin Sredojević, attempted to call him up in April 2022 but Ikpeazu wanted to stay in Wales and try and fight for his place in the Cardiff City team.[79] He was called up again in May 2024.[80]

Style of play

edit

Ikpeazu is an athletic 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) forward who possesses pace and power but sometimes struggles with ball control.[81][82] He has said that "my strength is my strength and I have to use that but I have other aspects to my game".[83]
