Professional

On January 9, 2020, Fawole was selected 42nd overall in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by D.C. United.[5] Though D.C. United declined to make him an offer, Fawole did sign with their USL Championship affiliate, Loudoun United, on March 6, 2020.[6] He made his professional debut on March 7, 2020, appearing as a 57th-minute substitute in a 0–0 draw with Philadelphia Union II.[7]

On October 8, 2021, following a trial period, Fawole agreed to join Aldershot Town of the National League, before immediately joining Farnborough on a short-term loan.[8] Fawole returned to Aldershot in January and went onto feature four times in all competitions before another loan move, this time joining Salisbury in February.[9] On 22 March 2022, Fawole then joined Southern League Premier Division South side Beaconsfield Town on loan.[10] Fawole was released at the end of the 2021–22 season.[11]

In August 2022, Fawole joined Maidstone United, following a successful trial period and went onto make his debut during a 2–1 home victory over York City.[12]

On March 4, 2023, Fawole agreed to join Dulwich Hamlet F.C of the National League South after being released from Maidstone United and a brief one month stint at Aveley FC. He made his debut for the club that same day in the 70th minute of a 1–0 win against fellow National League South side St. Albans City F.C.
