Leaving Priory Lane is centre-back Manni Adebowale.

Signed in the summer of 2019 by former manager Lee Bradbury, he is heading for SkyBet League Two outfit Crawley Town to re-join Bradbury, who is now assistant manager at the People’s Pension Stadium.

The 22-year-old moved to Boro from National League side Dover Athletic.

The 6`5” central defender had enjoyed a month on loan at Priory Lane in 2018/19.

Born and raised in Stratford, Adebowale came through the ranks at West Ham United before joining then-League One side Sheffield United on a two-year scholarship in the summer of 2013.

While he was with the Blades, he also spent time on loan with then-Northern Premier First Division South sides Goole AFC and Sheffield FC.

After being released by United, he had spells with Hayes & Yeading United and Bishop`s Stortford.

It was in the summer of 2017 where the imposing defender impressed Dover whilst on trial, during which he earned himself a two-year deal at The Crabble.

Borough manager Danny Bloor told https://www.ebfc.co.uk: “Manni is an up and coming young player and a true sportsman. A fine performance against Crawley Town in the Sussex Senior Cup will have caught the eye and earned him this move. He leaves with the very best wishes of everyone at Priory Lane.”

The transfer involves an undisclosed fee.

Meanwhile, Bloor has strengthened his defensive options with the signing of Franklin Domi from Championship side Queens Park Rangers on an initial month`s loan.

Scouted by Rangers as a youngster while playing for Enfield Borough and Wingate & Finchley, Domi signed an initial contract at Loftus Road in March 2019, extended last summer, and he is a regular member of the R`s under-23 team.

Already an Albanian international at under-20 and under-21 level, Domi is a tall and athletic left-sided defender.

“Franklin is a great addition to our squad,” added Bloor. “He already has good pedigree and I am sure he will make an important contribution, as well as gaining valuable experience for himself by playing in National South.”
