Elokobi On The Move As Shots Sign Defender Up

George Elokobi has boosted Aldershot Town’s survival fight.

He signs for the club on a deal until the end of the season following his release by Leyton Orient.

The Shots face Solihull Moors tonight and their new defender could make his debut.

Writing on the club’s website, the club hope the new addition can turn their fortunes around.

They said: “The Cameroonian defender played 58 times in the Premier League for Wolverhampton Wanderers, totalling 103 games and 4 goals for Wolves, including a famous goal in a 2-1 win over Manchester United at Molineux.

“The 33-year old began his career at Dulwich Hamlet before he was scouted by Colchester United in 2004, he joined Wolves in 2008 where he stayed for six years before joining Oldham Athletic and then back to Colchester a year later.

“He joined Leyton Orient following their relegation to the National League in 2017 and was released by the O’s at the end of January 2019 after making 28 appearances and scoring 4 goals, including one against the Shots in our 3-2 win at Brisbane Road last season.

“He has also played for Chester City, Nottingham Forest, Bristol City and Braintree Town in loan moves throughout his career.”
