Seyi George Olofinjana (born June 30, 1980 in Lagos) is a Nigerian footballer, who plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English Championship.
Olofinjana started his professional football career at FC Crown Ogbomoso, and later moved on to play in the Nigerian Premier League for Kwara United. During this time, he also broke into the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, making his debut on June 6, 2000 in a 3-2 friendly win over Malawi.
He then moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers, newly-relegated from the English Premier League, in a £1.7 million deal in July 2004. He had also attracted interest from FC Copenhagen, Rosenborg, Monaco and Auxerre.
He immediately became a first choice player at Molineux but struggled for consistency in performances. A back injury in Autumn 2005 kept him out for the rest of the season, forcing him to miss the 2006 African Cup of Nations.
He found his form in the 2006/07 season, however, finishing as the club's top goalscorer as they made the play-offs under Mick McCarthy. He netted Wolves' opening goal of the following campaign in a 2-1 defeat to Watford, but has not repeated his goalscoring antics of the previous season. He missed part of the season as he competed in the 2008 African Cup of Nations where Nigeria lost in the quarter finals.
Seyi is a class midfielder for any Championship side and would probably be good for a lower Premiership team too. I sometimes play him in the holding midfield role because his stats are suited to that position. He wins almost every aerial challenge and will be very consistent for you. A must buy for The Championship.

"Seyi" is a nickname for the Yoruba name "Oluwaseyi" (meaning "God made this"). lofinjana is a graduate of Chemical Engineering from the Ladoke Akintola University Of Technology, Ogbomoso and also sat exams as part of his Masters degree in Chemical Engineering in July 2007.
Olofinjana is a very good player. Probably one of the best midfielders in The Coca-Cola Championship. He is still only 27 and has a great few years ahead of him i'm sure. Look out for him in the future.
