Eniola 'Eni' Gesinde is a rugby player and current Newcastle Falcons senior academy member.

Eni was born in Lagos, Nigeria, before moving to England as a child.[1] He represented Yorkshire at U-18s level before joining the Newcastle Falcons academy.[1] Using his natural power and pace he scored a number of tries for the Development team.

Eni has captained the Falcons development team on a number of occasions and has recently led the Newcastle Falcons sevens team to a hat trick of victories in the Scottish Borders sevens, winning the Hawick, Melrose and Langham sevens titles with Gesinde playing an integral role throughout.

On 4 September 2006, Eni was named as part of the extended England sevens squad for the 06/07 season by Mike Friday.

On Sunday 17 September Eni made his Newcastle Falcons 1st team debut, coming off the bench in the 72nd minute during the 44-20 defeat to Saracens.
