The 23-year-old Norwegian citizen is a strong, pacey forward or winger who joins us from Hednesford Town having twice performed well and scored against us in two recent meetings with the Pitmen.

He was a trainee with IK Start back in Norway before heading to England in 2016. He featured for AFC Wulfrunians during the 2017/18 season before linking up with Solihull Moors. Over the next two years he played for Moors Academy and Solihull United in the Midland Football League before linking up with Redditch United in January 2020. The covid pandemic then disrupted football significantly for over a year, but Anaebonam returned to action with a move in September 2021 to League Of Ireland club Shelbourne (where the league is played in the summer). The First Division side won promotion back to the Irish Premier Division for the 2022 season as champions a month later and he agreed to stay on for the new campaign.

He had trials for Yeovil Town in the summer of 2022 before signing for Truro City ahead of the start of the 2022/23 season, but in October 2022 he returned to the Midlands and joined Hednesford Town where he quickly impressed.

He is cup-tied in the Birmingham Senior Cup competition having already featured for the Pitmen last month against Studley.

Longer standing supporters may recall a previous Norwegian to play for the club. GEIR SANDNES spent two months with us between October-December 1996 whilst studying in the area!
