After starting his career with Leyton, and spells with Welling United,[2] and Thurrock, Bakare joined Bishop's Stortford in 2010.[3] It was here where he first made an real impact, converting from a full back and midfielder to a forward player.

Following an impressive 9 goals in 14 games early in the 2011/12 season, Bakare joined Conference South club Chelmsford City, in a free transfer on 19 October 2011.[4] He continued to impress at his new club, scoring 5 goals in 10 games, which earnt Bakare a move to Football League side, Macclesfield Town on 17 January 2012.

Macclesfield Town

Bakare signed on a free transfer,[5] and made his first appearance as a substitute against Swindon Town on 21 January 2012. He was however limited to substitute appearances at Macclesfield, not starting a single game, and was released by the club, following their relegation at the end of the 2011/2012 season, making only 9 appearances.[6] His last game was against Southend United on 5 May 2012.

Southport

Conference National club Southport took Bakare on trial in July 2012. After a single appearance in a friendly against Skelmersdale United it was announced manager Liam Watson had signed the player to a contract for the 2012–13 season at the club's AGM on 27 July 2012.

Wrexham
