The striker signed for Tranmere last summer and made nine appearances in a Rovers shirt before spending the rest of the season on loan with then-National League rivals Dover Athletic.

Alabi arrived at Prenton Park having spent the previous eighteen months with Chester FC where he scored 23 goals from 53 starts.

Alabi came through the academy system at Stoke City and although unable to make the breakthrough into the first-team at the Britannia Stadium, he gained experience with loans at the likes of Scunthorpe United, Mansfield Town and Accrington Stanley.

After leaving Stoke, Alabi joined Ipswich Town at the beginning of the 2015/16 season after impressing during a trial at the club and netted on his debut for the Tractor Boys in a 4-1 victory at Doncaster Rovers in the Capital One Cup.

Midway through that season, he left Portman Road to join Chester and he was the club’s leading goalscorer in 2016/17 with 17 league goals to his name.

Capped twice by England C, the 23-year-old made 11 appearances for Dover on loan, scoring just the once.
