Emmanuel 'Eman' Okunja makes a Sheppey move

 

 

Sheppey United have brought in midfielder Eman Okunja, who, had he stayed put, would have been playing in Pitching In Isthmian South East anyway, as he has just won promotion with Peacehaven & Telscombe. 

 

Eman spent time with Maldon and Tiptree during 24-25, after making a move from Saffron Walden Town. He finished the 23-24 campaign with the Jammers local rivals Heybridge Swifts- indeed he made a debut in victory over the Jammers, played six times as the season drew to a close, and scored two goals. 

 

Eman was part of Hashtag United's North Division winning squad during the 22-23 season, making thirty six appearances and scoring eight vital goals. He started the 23-24 season at Brightlingsea Regent, playing three times, and then headed to Walthamstow for a second spell with the club, making sixteen appearances. He also spent a short time with Frenford. 

 

He was previously with Hullbridge Sports, and made twenty six appearances before the 19-20 campaign came to a premature end, and another five before 20-21 went the same way. He then moved to Walthamstow for a first spell.
