It has now been brought to the attention of The Star that the other four trialists on the day for the Owls were Dami Olorunnisomo, Ayodeji Owoeye, Adem Adentoro, as well as Bobby Dunn, who has been on trial with the club previously.

It’s thought that Olorunnisomo is a 22-year-old defender who has most recently been playing for Glebe FC, while Owoeye is believed to be a forward previously with Harrow Borough and Aylesbury United.

Not much is known about Adentoro, while Dunn is the same midfielder – who plays for Ramsgate – that was present at the club last month.
