The 34-year old joins the Martyrs until January 2nd, 2020 subject to international clearance.

 

Nigerian-born, he joined Barnet at the age of 11, turned professional at 16 and made his first-team debut at 17.

 

He went on to make nearly 400 appearances for the Bees before joining AFC Wimbledon in 2010.

 

In his one season with the Dons he helped the team into the Football League and scored one of the penalties in the decisive shoot-out in the Promotion Final against Newport County.

 

It was to Newport that he went after his release from Wimbledon that summer, and with the Welsh club he reached the FA Trophy Final in 2012 and won another Conference play-off final in 2013.

 

He has also played for Woking and Hemel Hempstead Town.

 

He joined Isthmian Premier club Kingstonian in February 2019 before signing for Hayes & Yeading in June.
