An Athletic trio

Pitching In Isthmian South East side AFC Croydon Athletic, who travel to East Grinstead Town this evening (Friday), yesterday announced three new arrivals. 

David Omilabu, a winger/forward, is a former Crystal Palace youth, playing Under 18 and Under 21 football at Selhurst Park and spending twelve years with the club before moving on to National League side Maidenhead United last season. 

Defender Jude Russell played youth, Under 21 and Under 23 football for Crystal Palace, before heading to Brentford, where he played for the B team. The defender made his Under 18 debut at Selhurst Park aged just fifteen, and spent some time with Beckenham Town during 2022 before playing a couple of times for Herne Bay. He also played for Erith and Belvedere.

Right back Finley Marjorham comes in on loan from Crystal Palace. He signed for Palace ten years ago when aged only eight, and is part of the Under 18 side at Selhurst Park.
