Tyler Jaden Napier Edward Onyango (born 4 March 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder or right wing-back for EFL League One club Sheffield Wednesday.

Career

Everton

On 24 January 2021, Onyango made his first-team debut for Everton when he came off of the bench to replace André Gomes in the 85th minute of an FA Cup fourth round victory over Sheffield Wednesday. On 21 November 2021, Onyango made his Premier League debut as a substitute in the final minute of a 3–0 defeat to Manchester City, going on to make a further two league appearances in the 2021–22 season as Everton narrowly avoided relegation.

On 27 July 2022, Onyango joined EFL League One club Burton Albion on a season-long loan deal. In January 2023, Onyango returned to Everton.

On 27 January 2023, Onyango returned to League One to join bottom club Forest Green Rovers on loan until the end of the season, the first signing for new manager, and former Everton youth coach, Duncan Ferguson. After just three appearances, a hamstring injury saw him forced to return to his parent club.

On 9 August 2024, Onyango signed a season-long loan deal to join Stockport County. Having sustained a hamstring injury in November 2024, he returned to his parent club in January 2025.

On 1 September 2025, Onyango returned to League One side Stockport County on a season-long loan deal.

On 9 June 2026, Everton announced that they were releasing Onyango at the expiration of his contract that summer.

Sheffield Wednesday

On 7 August 2026, Onyango signed a three-year contract with League One club Sheffield Wednesday following a successful trial. He made his debut on the opening day of the League One season, starting the game against Leyton Orient, however he picked up an early injury and would be replaced by Jarvis Thornton after 14 minutes. The following week, manager Henrik Pedersen confirmed that he had injured his ACL and could be out for the season.

International career

Onyango was born in England to a Kenyan father and English mother. This makes him eligible to play for either Kenya or England National teams. He is a youth international for England at under-17 level.
