Odelusi joins Mariners

1 Oct 2019 By James Gordon

South Shields have announced the signing of Sanmi Odelusi on an initial deal until January.

The former football league player has made appearances for Bolton Wanderers, Milton Keynes Dons, Coventry City, Wigan Athletic and Blackpool.

The 26-year-old joins on a deal until January from Halifax Town.

“It’s a good situation to come into, but at the same time the boys are winning so it’s not like I expect to be thrown straight into the team," Odelusi told the club's official website.

“It doesn’t happen like that in football.

“I want to work hard to prove that I deserve a starting place.”

South Shields currently lead the way in the BetVictor Northern Premier League table, with seven wins and 22 points.
