The prolific striker later returned to Nigeria to play for Lobi Stars, Plateau United, and Abia Warriors before joining Rivers United in January 2021. His fine form earned him a move to North Macedonia, signing for KF Shkupi in August 2021.
Adetunji had an impressive debut season with Shkupi, scoring 20 goals to finish as the league’s top scorer and helping the club secure their first-ever league title.
In September 2023, he completed a move to Serbian side FK Čukarički as a free agent. He made an instant impact, scoring a spectacular goal on his debut against Red Star Belgrade and winning a crucial penalty in the same match.
The 26-year-old made his only senior appearance for Nigeria on July 4, 2021, coming on as a substitute in a 4–0 friendly loss to Mexico.
