David Oluwatosin Osho "Tosin" Olufemi (born 13 May 1994) is an English footballer who plays as a winger or full-back for Isthmian League Division One North side Haringey Borough.
Olufemi progressed through the Colchester United Academy, breaking into the first-team in 2013. He made 26 appearances for Colchester between 2013 and his release in the summer of 2016. He then joined Hayes & Yeading United before joining Haringey Borough.
Born in Hackney, London, Olufemi came through the ranks at Colchester United's Academy, primarily as a winger who could also play at full-back. He began to feature in the clubs' reserve team in 2011, where he scored in a 6–0 win against Stevenage Reserves in their first game of the season on 7 September, helping the side win the last-ever Football Combination North Division title that season.
Alongside fellow Academy products Bradley Hamilton, Drey Wright, Ryan Melaugh and Shaun Phillips, Olufemi signed a two-year professional development contract with the club in May 2012. He then featured a number of times for the first-team in their 2012–13 pre-season campaign, where he scored twice in a 6–0 victory over Heybridge Swifts in the opening fixture on 14 July. He scored again in pre-season, this time for a young Colchester United XI against Needham Market in a 3–1 away defeat on 31 July. Olufemi was selected for the matchday squad for the first time in Colchester's trip to Bournemouth on 15 December, although he was an unused substitute in the U's 1–0 defeat. He made his first-team debut in a League One match away at Bury on 16 March 2013. He came on as a 70th-minute substitute for goalscorer Clinton Morrison in the 2–1 victory, impressing manager Joe Dunne with his performance. His appearance at Bury was to be his only game of the season.
