In April 2012, he was released by Stevenage after he had completed his scholarship. Following his release he enrolled with the Tresham College of Further and Higher Education in Kettering, where he played for the under-21 development side in the Conference Reserve League.

In October 2012, he signed for Southern Football League Premier Division side St Neots Town, where he went on to make fifteen appearances in all competitions scoring twice.

In January 2013, he moved to fellow Southern Football League Premier Division side Banbury United for a brief period, only making two appearances.

In February 2013, he joined Football League Championship side Ipswich Town on trial, featuring in a 4–3 reserve side win over Colchester United.

He started the 2013–14 season with Isthmian League Premier Division side AFC Hornchurch after impressing in pre-season, and he was mainly used in the role of impact substitute, scoring late in games against Margate and Wealdstone.{{cite web|url=http://www.barkinganddagenhampost.co.uk/sport/daggers_sign_chatham_town_striker_1_3768509|title=Daggers sign Chatham Town striker|date=12 September 2014|access-date=17 September 2014|publisher=Barking & Dagenham Post}} He made a total of fifteen appearances for the Urchins scoring three times.{{cite web|url=http://www.isthmian.co.uk/double-up-leaves-stattos-scratching-17003/|title=Double up leaves stattos scratching|access-date=17 September 2014|publisher=Isthmian League}}

In November 2013, he joined Isthmian League Division One North side Aveley to get more match practice, however he stayed with the club for less than a month.

Shortly after he signed for fellow Isthmian League Division One North side Chatham Town.

After netting seven goals in the first nine games of the 2014–15 campaign for Chatham, he was signed by Football League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge in September 2014 for an undisclosed fee, signing a one-year contract with the club.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29178492|title=Adeoye Yusuff: Dagenham sign striker for undisclosed fee|date=12 September 2014|access-date=17 September 2014|publisher=BBC Sport}}{{cite web|url=http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/daggers-snap-up-chatham-striker-23418/|title=Dagenham & Redbridge sign former Stevenage striker Adeoye Yusuff from Chatham Town|date=13 September 2014|access-date=17 September 2014|author=Luke Cawdell|publisher=Kent Online}} Despite turning professional, he kept his job working as a waiter in a Wagamama restaurant in Kent.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29238310|title=Adeoye Yusuff: Dagenham striker still a waiter despite turning pro|date=17 September 2014|access-date=17 September 2014|publisher=BBC Sport}} He made his professional debut in the same month in a 3–2 defeat to Cambridge United, replacing Andre Boucaud as a substitute.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29090347|title=Dag & Red 2 –3 Cambridge|date=13 September 2014|access-date=17 September 2014|publisher=BBC Sport}} His first professional goals for the club came in October 2014, where he scored a brace in the 2–1 victory over Accrington Stanley.{{cite web|url=http://www.barkinganddagenhampost.co.uk/sport/yusuff_on_cloud_nine_after_first_daggers_goals_1_3803046|title=Yusuff on cloud nine after first Daggers goals|date=11 October 2014|access-date=21 October 2014|publisher=Barking & Dagenham Post}}
