Toto Adaruns Tamuz Temile (Hebrew: טוטו אדיוראנס תמוז טמילה; born 1 April 1988) is a Nigerian-born Israeli former professional footballer who played as a forward.
Born in Warri, Nigeria, his parents came to Israel in 1990, where his father, Nigerian footballer Clement Temile, played professionally for Beitar Netanya.
When Beitar Netanya ran into financial difficulties and was forced to stop paying salaries, his parents reverted to working various odd jobs.
Although it is unclear if he formally converted to Judaism, it was stated in a 2007 Ynetnews article that Tamuz was raised Jewish, attending the synagogue on holidays and performing kiddush each Friday.
[4] Tamuz started to play organised football at Hapoel Petah Tikva, where he made his professional debut during the 2005–06 Israeli Premier League in a match against F.C.
[11] After his temporary visa expired, Tamuz was unable to play for the Israel national team until he received full Israeli citizenship, a process which could take three years.
[13] Three months later in 2007, Tamuz was granted full Israeli citizenship along with Roberto Colautti (originally from Argentina), after their respective applications were approved by the Minister of Internal Affairs Roni Bar-On.
[14] On 6 September 2006, Tamuz made his debut for Israel at the age of 18, against Andorra in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying match (played at Goffertstadion, Nijmegen, but classed as a home tie).
