I have been very impressed with this player, against Eastbourne Borough he looked very cool in defence, and quick and strong in midfield and passes the ball very well.

I looked on line and it says that his previous club was Tonbridge Angels, and has also played for Burgess Hill.

Have we actually signed him on as I think he could be a real asset to us this season.

Hello,

As a Faversham supporter, thought I would add my insight and offer more information on Ollie - apparently he prefers that to Olalekan - because he spent a few months with us last season.

We brought him on loan from Tonbridge Angels on a 28-day loan around Christmas, before we extended the loan until the end of the campaign after he impressed.

Unfortunately, around February and March, he agreed to have his contract terminated with Tonbridge Angels (I guess he might have had his head turned,although, he didn't play for anyone at the end of last season as far as I know).

So, at this stage, the loan had to be terminated and that was the last of Ollie as a Lilywhite.

In the 2012/13 season, he also played a few first-team games for Tonbridge Angels after they secured survival in the Conference South and gave some younger players a go.

He clearly has potential, as I'm sure you have seen if he has played any friendlies for you this season.

He has bundles of energy but he is still reasonably young - I think around 24 - so he does still lack an end product.

Having said that, he is a nice guy, a good player and if everything falls into place, can be a real asset to any squad at Ryman South level.

P.S. He played right-midfield for us last season but did look like the type of player who could play in a few midfield positions.

Hope that helps.
