Olutade leaves the seaside for the Lilywhites

Faversham Town have strengthened their forward line with the arrival of Ibrahim Olutade from Margate.

Ibrahim has had two seasons at Gate, and has been deadly in front of goals. The 24-25 campaign brought twenty eight goals in fifty two appearances, and last season he managed a goal every two matches, twenty two of them whilst playing forty four times. 

Ibrahim first came to our attention due to his performances for Hanwell Town during the 2018-19 campaign, scoring four goals in eleven matches- including one against Leatherhead in the FA Cup, and the Tanners subsequently snapped him up. He played another thirty one times for the Tanners that season, and was rather prolific, getting the attention of Maidstone United. The Stones loaned him back to the Tanners for the following season, and he managed sixteen goals in twenty four matches. He returned to the Stones, and then moved on to spend the 21-22 season in National League South with Tonbridge Angels, playing regularly and scoring half a dozen goals. He moved on to Folkestone Invicta for the 22-23 season, scoring seventeen goals in fifty two matches. 23-24 saw him score eight goals in nineteen matches for the Stripes, before heading first to Walton and Hersham and then back to Leatherhead once more, scoring eight Tanners goals in fourteen matches as they reached the South Central Play Off Final.
