Now It's Happening! New Stones Signing Mambo To Wear No5

The defender has come out of retirement to sign for National League South Wealdstone.

The Ebbsfleet United man last season achieved social media fame with calls for the centre-half to be renumbered in line with the cult song.

Mambo Number 5 is of course the iconic 90s hit from Lou Bega - and the campaign to see him wearing the shirt gathered momentum thanks to fans on twitter following the live BT Sport game with Leyton Orient.

But late last season he called time on his career because of a knee injury. Some hard work later, the 27-year-old says he is ready to return part-time with the Stones.

Now his new manager has told us this morning the dreams of a nation will become reality.

“We’ve decided to do it!” said manager Wilkinson. “We all saw the stories last season so we’re going to make it happen.

“It’s a great signing for this club and I think his experience could be crucial to us.

“We’ve been pleased with the signings we have made and the players we have added will all bring different qualities to the club.

“Our latest is Bradley Hudson Odoi. He was great at Hampton last season on loan from Sutton.

“We have added players who have won promotion and broken records so we are pleased with how things are taking shape.”
