Three more in for the Millers

Three more in for the Millers

Osaretin Otote, Marc-Anthony Okoye and Ollie Whitby are newly arrived at Cray Valley PM

 

 

Winger Osaretin Otote is a player you might remember his time at Met Police, Sevenoaks Town and Northwood, although he first came to our attention when turning out for Barking In Pitching In Isthmian North. 

 

He previously spent time at Mansfield Town, where he played for the Under 18 side, and has also been part of the Croydon U18 Kinetic Football Academy as well as appearing for Huddersfield Town Under 18's and Meridian VP in the South East Counties Football League. He went on to play for Waltham Abbey before joining the Woods, where he made five appearances at the end of the 22-23 campaign- including a Play Off Semi Final- and sixteen more with four goals last season. He has also played for Broadfields United and Hullbridge Sports. 

 

His time at Sevenoaks Town brought only a couple of appearances, and he played six times for Met- both during 24-25. He was back with Northwood last season, playing twenty seven times and scoring four goals. 

 

Marc- Anthony Okoye was briefly with Cray Wanderers last season, and spent some time with Dartford during the 24-25 season on a non-contract basis, after coming out of an injury prompted retirement. He was previously with Bromley,  and indeed announced his retirement whilst a Raven, in November 2019. 

 

He came through the youth ranks at Bromley, and then came our way, playing for Dulwich Hamlet and Merstham. He went on to play for Braintree Town before becoming a Bromley boy again, and made his decision to retire after being troubled by persistent knee injuries. 

 

Ollie Whitby is a recent departure from Millwall, where he played for the Under 18 and Under 21 sides. He signed his first professional contract last season and is rather highly rated, so the capture of the midfielder may be something of a coup for the Millers.
