Early life
Club career
Agbinone signed his first professional contract with Crystal Palace in 2022 while playing for the under-18 team.[5] Shortly thereafter in March 2023, Agbinone was awarded with Crystal Palace's club goal of the month award for a long-distance effort he scored against the Tottenham Hotspur under-18s team. In the following season, Agbinone would go on to appear for Palace's under-18 and under-21 teams, including an appearance in the FA Youth Cup. Agbinone went on to score 9 goals in 20 youth team appearances in the 2023–24 season.[6]
Agbinone earned a place in the Crystal Palace first team in the summer of 2024, as he was called up to join the senior squad for pre-season matches in the United States.[7] During this tour, Agbinone scored his first senior pre-season goal in a 3–1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Navy–Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland.
On 21 October 2024, Agbinone made his Premier League debut for the Eagles, coming on as a substitute in the second half of a 1–0 away loss against Nottingham Forest.[8]
