The 25-year-old returns to Colls from NPL Division One West side Colne, who he joined in the summer of 2021 from Trafford.

 

He started his career at Stockport County in 2012. His talent was spotted by Stoke City, and he switched to the Potteries.

 

In 2016 after signing first-team terms but not making a senior appearance, he joined Tamworth on loan, then Fleetwood Town permanently, making his debut against Carlisle United in the EFL Trophy.

 

He joined Stalybridge Celtic in August 2017 and was almost ever-present in the 2017/18 season, missing just two matches, before heading to the US with New Orleans Jesters.

 

He started the 2018/19 season at Mickleover Sports before switching to Buxton and then to Atherton Collieries in December 2018, helping them to win the Northern Premier Division One West title.

 

Transferred to Trafford in October 2019.

 

Colls` manager Brad Cooke told: “Oli is someone I have admired for a while. I kept track of him after he left Colls originally to join Trafford and Colne, and he has excelled. Oli has really matured as a player and is a fantastic footballer too.”

 

“We spoke a while ago, and it was a pretty easy conversation for both of us with regards to him signing. He adds loads of quality in the middle of the park, it’s a very good signing for the football club!”
