National League South side Tonbridge Angels have completed the signing of Nigeria-born striker, Oluwabunmi Babajide, in a move that underlines the club’s ambition ahead of the upcoming season.
The 22-year-old forward, who is the younger brother of Super Falcons winger Rinsola Babajide, joins the Angels following an impressive 2023/24 campaign that saw him net 20 goals in 37 appearances for Carshalton Athletic.
A brief but impactful stint at Hampton & Richmond Borough further enhanced his reputation as one of the most exciting young attacking talents in non-league football.
Known for his blistering pace, strength, and clinical finishing, Babajide’s arrival is seen as a major coup for Tonbridge, who are looking to push for promotion this season.
Speaking on his move to Longmead Stadium, Oluwabunmi expressed his excitement: “I’m really happy to be joining Tonbridge Angels. This is the right place for me to grow and show what I can do. I’m ready to work hard, enjoy my football, and deliver performances the fans can be proud of.”
Club officials and supporters alike will be hoping that Bunmi’s attacking flair can provide the spark needed to elevate the Angels into playoff contention and beyond.
