Hinckley AFC have completed the signing of experienced forward Joe Obi from Atherstone Town.
Obi was part of the Adders side that won the Division One title last season, and has featured a further 21 times for them at step five this season.
An experienced forward primarily, he is also comfortable playing at centre back and adds versatility to the playing squad as well as his experience and title-winning knowhow.
Manager Joe Conneely said: “We’re delighted to have Joe with us. He brings huge experience to us having won the league last year with Atherstone.
“Once we knew Joe was available, Courtney worked hard to bring him in as quickly as we could.
“We’re really pleased he’s joined us.”
Obi first joined Atherstone in 2018, and has spent much of the last five seasons there either side of a brief spell with Lichfield City.
He scored more than 50 times in more than 100 games for them, including in their memorable FA Vase win away to Stockton Town in 2020 which Joe McNulty was also a part of.
Before that, he spent five years at Bolehall Swifts and has also featured for Heather St John’s and Coton Green, amassing nearly 300 Division One appearances across the last ten seasons and scoring more than a century of goals.
Welcome to Hinckley, Joe!
