Hayes & Yeading Lose Rowe to Play-Off Final Winners

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South play-off winners Farnborough have raided former league rivals Hayes & Yeading United for forward Omar Rowe.

The 27-year-old made 33 league appearances and scored 7 goals in helping Hayes & Yeading to finish above Farnborough in second spot in the regular season before losing 2-1 to the Hampshire outfit in the play-off final.

An attacking midfielder, he had been at the SKYex Community Stadium since late August 2019.

He was playing in Cyprus for Ayai Napa, Enosis Neon Paralimni and Ethnikos Latsion before joining Paul Hughes` side.

He started his career in the West Ham United and Southampton academies before being signed by the Saints on professional terms in 2013.

He featured once in the first team at St Mary`s in the Capital One Cup against Barnsley in August 2013.

After his release by Southampton, he had a brief spell with Essex Senior League side Tower Hamlets before joining then-National League South outfit Bishop`s Stortford in October 2015.

He left the Blues in January 2016 and finished the campaign with Woodford Town and back at Tower Hamlets before going to Cyprus in 2016.

Farnborough manager Spencer Day told his club’s website: "A really exciting signing of a player who has been linked with many League Clubs after so many good performances.

"Another player we know well and will be very popular with our fans for sure."

Day has also added Freddie Grant from new National League South rivals Slough Town and Kevin Lokko from National League neighbours Aldershot Town to his play-off winning squad.
