Stourbridge have snapped up pacey forward or winger STANLEY OBINNA ANAEBONAM for a second stint with the club.

Stan originally linked up with the Glassboys in December 2022 and notched nine goals in 19 appearances over the second half of last season.

After initially appearing to be bound for Rushall Olympic this summer, he eventually linked up with Hereford FC for the start of pre-season training and featured for the Bulls in friendly fixtures and some of their early season National League North matches before being released last week.

A Norwegian citizen, he was a trainee with IK Start 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 he returned to action with a move in September 2021 to League of Ireland club Shelbourne (where the league is played in the summer months). 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 then 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.

Welcome back Stan!
