Having the chance to test myself at the next level was something I couldn’t turn down
Gary Abisogun
We are pleased to announce the signing of talented 26-year-old winger Gary Abisogun.
Gary joins us from Bracknell Town, where he scored 15 goals and registered 17 assists as part of a Robins team which finished as runners-up in Southern League Premier South, before going on to narrowly lose to Truro City in the playoff final. He also won the Berks & Bucks FA Senior Cup and played in the First Round of the Emirates FA Cup against Ipswich Town.
Scott Davies had the following to say about signing Gary:
"Gary ‘Abs’ was first put on my radar by a teammate of his last year at Chertsey Town when I found myself playing against them for Hanwell Town in the playoff final.
"On the day, Gary showed glimpses of how good he can be at times, but having watched him on four or five occasions this season, he seems to have improved during his spell with Bracknell.
"One thing about a player like Gary is that the surface to play on is all important, and I believe the 3G at Arbour Park will suit him perfectly.
"Every fan in the ground likes to watch a front-foot player who likes to gets at their defender, and Gary is exactly that. I’m sure he will add real pace and trickery and will be someone that the fans really take to.
"Again, it would’ve been easy for Gary to stay in his comfort zone at Bracknell, where he’s highly thought of by his management and peers, but he’s chosen to test himself at the next level."
Gary Abisogun added:
"I chose to join Slough because I liked what I heard when Scotty spoke about the project and the direction the club is heading in. I thought it was the right opportunity for me this summer after getting so close to achieving promotion to this league with Bracknell. Having the chance to test myself at the next level was something I couldn’t turn down.
"I want to perform to the best of my abilities and hope that come the end of the season we can be proud of what we have achieved together."
