Oguntibeju's career goals to play international rugby for Scotland and represent the British & Irish Lions can only be achieved by playing regularly for Glasgow and that's the plan. Last season was a breakthrough campaign for the big lock forward. He played nine times for the Warriors and was also selected for the Scotland A international against Chile in Edinburgh, but he's ready for more.
Speaking in The Scotman, Oguntibeju said: "Now that I'm 23, I think this season will define how the rest of my career goes. And I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited to see how it goes.
"I think 23 is a very critical age in someone's career. For me, where you are at 23 is what it looks like for the rest of your career. I think this season is very important in terms of my goals to be a regular and also somewhat of a stand-out player this season, or at least projected to be one."
Oguntibeju is making up for lost time with a serious knee injury hampering his early progress. He arrived at Glasgow after a spell with Stirling Wolves in the Super Series but he was a bit older than the rest of the academy boys when he joined up at Scotstoun last summer. It left him with the feeling that he was playing catch up.
"I only started here at 22," he said. "So I've only been a year in the professional environment, whereas if I'd been here at 18, maybe my development would have been further along. So I'm kind of playing catch-up to a lot of people who have gone through that route. So I don't really have the time, I have to learn things much quicker because I'm not getting any younger. My aspirations are to be an international, be a Lions player. But really and truly, if I want to keep going on that path, I think 23 is a good age to start."
