We are delighted to welcome Omar Rowe to the Meadow on a loan deal through to the end of the season from Farnborough. Omar joined Farnborough in the summer from Hayes & Yeading after the play-off final saw Farnborough promoted to Step 2.
With managers James Duncan & Michael Murray understandably delighted to get Omar in; “We are both delighted to get Omar in, a player we have admired whenever he has played against us. Omar has a great pedigree and experience in our league which will be crucial for the rest of the season while adding extra competition to our squad as we look to retain our place in the top 3 and push for the top spot”
And Chairman Peter Brown was also delighted with the news; “We are very excited about the signing of Omar, he is a player of vast experience at this level, essential as we go into the second half of the campaign. The addition to the squad demonstrates our intention to be up there at the end of the season and we are backing our management to continue the excellent work they have done so far. I hope our supporters are equally excited, an early Christmas present as we prepare for the Boxing Day clash when hopefully we will have a good crowd to cheer the team on”
Thank you to Spencer Day and everyone at Farnborough for their assistance in getting the paperwork done for this deal at a busy time of the year.
