Born in 2007, Philip Sanyaolu joined QPR at eight and helped the Development Squad win the London Senior Cup in May and the Premier League Cup in 2025. The winger then signed his first professional contract at the Rs in June 2026 and has been part of the first-team setup during pre-season. 

The 18-year-old went on their trip to Austria and has featured in friendly fixtures, starting against Bromley and registering a goal and an assist. Sanyaolu was also an unused substitute in QPR's Carabao Cup Round One match against Milwall.

The winger made his debut the day after signing for the Pirates, coming off the bench in the Gas' 2-2 draw with Cobham Next Gen in the EFL Trophy.
