Odukoya and Northwood are new at the Dockers

Tilbury welcomed two new arrivals before the window closed, Luke Northwood and Ayo Odukoya.

Luke is on loan from Leyton Orient. The defender played youth football for Charlton Athletic before a move to Orient, where he plays for the Under 18 side. He has already played in the Pitching In Isthmian League this season, for South East side Erith Town- who, of course, are also known as the Dockers. 

The full back played nine times for Erith.

Striker Ayo Odukoya helped Brentwood Town to the Pitching In Isthmian North title last season, playing nine times and scoring twice. He joined the Blues from Redbridge. 

Ayo played an enormous part in the Motormen's Essex Senior Cup triumph during 23-24 season, as was fairly impressive in the League, too! He made thirty three appearances and scored eight goals, and added seven appearances and one goal during 24-25 before heading to Brentwood. In between the two seasons he headed off to the sun to appear on Love Island, but we won't hold that against him!

He joined the Motormen in September 2023, from East Thurrock United. He joined the Rocks during the 22-23 season on a dual-registration deal from Enfield, making five appearances and scoring in the two-two draw with New Salamis, and scored four goals in six appearances. 

He previously played for Great Wakering Rovers, and prior to that was at Basildon United, scoring eleven goals in the first half of the 19-20 campaign. Prior to his time with Rovers and the Bees he spent some time at Bowers & Pitsea, and has also played for Witham Town and Stanway Rovers.
