We can confirm that Temi Eweka has decided to leave the club to pursue a new challenge.
Temi had two spells at the club, initially joining on loan in January 2023 where he helped Scott Davies’ side win 19 points in the 15 matches he was involved in – a huge contribution toward the Rebels maintaining their National League South status. He then signed for the club on a permanent basis in the summer of 2023, making a further 46 appearances last season as the club reached the FA Cup first round and achieved a top 10 finish.
Scott Davies had the following to say on Temi’s departure: “Temi has decided that he will be leaving the football club. We’ve had several conversations over the past couple of months about where his future lies, but in the past few days he’s made it clear to me that he’s been offered a deal which was too good to turn down.
“Temi has a huge desire to play full time football and this move will ensure that he’s able to do that. As a part time club, it’s sometimes difficult to retain our better players when full time clubs come calling and this has proven to be the case in this situation.
“As I said to Temi, I’m delighted that he’s been able to secure a move where he can train every day, but on the other hand we will most definitely miss what he brings to the team and the football club as a whole.
“There’s no denying that he’s been absolutely brilliant for us, but also me personally. He’s chosen Slough as his home on two occasions when he could’ve gone elsewhere but now it’s time for him to move on with nothing but our thanks and appreciation for what he’s given us in the time he’s been at the club.
“A fantastic player and character that anyone would be lucky to have. Good luck Tem!”
