Akinyemi signed for Southern Football League Premier Division side Bishop’s Stortford on a season-long loan deal on 26 July 2017.

He made his Stortford debut on the opening day of the 2017–18 season, playing the whole match in a 2–1 defeat away at Tiverton Town on 12 August 2017. Akinyemi scored his first goal for the club in a 5–0 away victory against Dunstable Town on 26 September 2017. He remained a regular throughout the loan spell, scoring ten times in 36 appearances in all competitions, including four goals in his final four games for the club throughout February 2018. The season-long loan deal was cut short when he was recalled by Stevenage at the start of March 2018.

Upon his recall, Akinyemi signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Dulwich Hamlet on a permanent basis on 6 March 2018, having previously been on loan at the south London club on two separate occasions earlier in his career.

He made his third Dulwich debut on the same day his signing was announced, scoring twice in a 3–1 away win at league leaders Billericay Town. He went on to make 14 appearances and score four goals in all competitions as Dulwich won promotion to the National League South after winning the Isthmian League Premier Division play-offs.

Akinyemi was signed by National League side Aldershot Town on a one-month loan on the 10th of November, 2015. The reason for the loan deal was to aid in Akinyemi’s growth as he had only recently begun playing competitive football in the first team. Akinyemi made his scoring debut for Aldershot the day after signing the contract, scoring with a goal to temporarily bring the score level in a 1-1 home loss against Lincoln City. Akinyemi was involved in four games during the short loan period with one goal, prior to returning back at his home club at the beginning of December. Apart from two substitute appearances following his return to Aldershot, Akinyemi found first-team opportunities to play a limited role at Stevenage. Akinyemi was then loaned for Southern Football League Premier Division club St Neots Town on 6 February, 2016 for one month’s loan to youth. Akinyemi played six times during the loan period, with the only goal he scored was scored from St Neots’ 3-1 home victory against Bideford during his 2nd appearance. Then, he joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Dulwich Hamlet on loan, the third loan period of the season on March 25, 2016 to run the rest of the campaign. Like he did with Aldershot, Akinyemi scored on his debut for Dulwich in the league, scoring the team’s second goal in a draw 2-2 against Enfield Town when he connected with a goal-bound cross near the post on the 27th March 2016. He scored both Dulwich’s goals during the next game in a 2-1 victory at home against Tonbridge Angels. He then scored the club’s fourth strike in his last three games during a 2-0 victory at home in the match against Bognor Regis Town on 2 April the 2nd of April, 2016. The striker scored 5 goals over 7 games over the course of his loan period during which Dulwich just fell short of promotion through the play-offs.
