Kelvin Peter Etuhu (born 30 May 1988 in Kano) is a Nigerian footballer who currently plays for Bury following his release from Barnsley. Etuhu has two older brothers, Dickson Etuhu, also a professional footballer, and Michael Etuhu, who is still at university. Etuhu grew up in Peckham, South London and attended Saint Thomas the Apostle boys school.
Etuhu plays as a striker or as a winger. After scoring the winning goal in the semis against rivals Manchester United, he went on to play in the FA Youth Cup finals in 2005–06 where Manchester City lost to Liverpool on a 3–2 aggregate. He scored the equaliser in his debut for Rochdale, coming on in the 56th minute against Wycombe Wanderers and scoring in the 80th minute. His spell at Rochdale was unfortunately cut short, due to a knee injury which prompted his return to Manchester City.
He made his first appearance for Manchester City on 25 September 2007 against Norwich City in the League Cup, coming on as a substitute and set up the winning goal for Georgios Samaras. On 15 December 2007 Etuhu then scored his first goal in the Premier League against Bolton Wanderers as Manchester City won 4–2. Following this appearance, Etuhu signed a contract with the club, keeping him until the end of the 2009-10 season.
On Tuesday, 4 March 2008, he joined Leicester City on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season. Etuhu made his debut four days later, on 8 March, in 0–0 draw against Bristol City. He made two consecutive starts before being dropped to bench against West Bromwich Albion on 15 March, coming on in the 88th minute. Due to new signing David Bell from Luton Town, Etuhu remained the final two months of his loan on bench, making brief appearances for the Foxes. Leicester were relegated at the end of the season.
