A former Wycombe Wanderers midfielder has joined a side playing in the Israeli Premier League.
Dennis Adeniran, who spent the 2020/21 season with the Adams Park side when the Chairboys were in the Championship, penned a deal with Hapoel Petah Tikva on January 31.

His move to the Middle Eastern team comes just months after he signed for Portimonense S.C. in Portugal, following his release from Sheffield Wednesday.
He initially joined on a three-year deal but after just one appearance for the Mediterranean outfit in just half-a-season, he moved to Israel on a short-term contract with an option for a further two years.
Before his move abroad, Adeniran started his career at Fulham before being signed by Everton.
After failing to make a single first-team appearance during his four years at Goodison Park, he joined Wanderers on loan and played 22 times in their maiden year in the second tier of English football.

Despite impressing at Adams Park, he was not resigned by then manager Gareth Ainsworth and subsequently joined Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer.
During his two years in Yorkshire, he played 51 times and scored seven goals.
He also won a League One play-off medal after the Owls defeated Barnsley in the final last May.
