We are thrilled to announce the signing of Emeka Obi on a permanent transfer from Kidderminster Harriers for an undisclosed fee.

The imposing 6ft 6” defender signed a two-year deal with Rovers, bolstering our backline for the upcoming season.

Obi was a prominent member of the promoted Harriers side last season, contributing 7 goals and two assists in 44 games.

“This is a fantastic signing for us”, the gaffer said, “He was an ever-present in Kidderminster’s promotion team last season. He’s had a great upbringing in the Liverpool & Wigan Youth set-ups, and he's a huge threat from set-pieces.

“A leader on and off the pitch, at just 25, he’s got a bright future, and I’m really looking forward to seeing him in action in an FGR shirt.”

Meeks is in the building with the rest of the squad at The Candriam Training Centre and getting into pre-season training.

Please join us in wishing him a massive welcome to The New Lawn!
