The 25-year-old started his football career in the academy ranks at Watford, playing alongside the likes of Jadon Sancho, and had a spell in Finland before studying architectural engineering and design management at Loughborough University, which is where he switched from right-back to a striker.

He won a deal with his hometown team Sutton United, after a successful trial, and spent two years there, scoring a few goals too, including a winner against Barrow.

During his time at Sutton he also had loans at Torquay United and Hampton & Richmond and then moved to Kosovo where he played for Prishtina.

He returned to England in February and signed for Hendon. They were relegated from the Isthmian Premier Division but Fadahunsi managed six goals in his nine appearances for the club, including one against Chatham Town in a 3-3 draw.

He’s now got big ambitions with Chatham.

Speaking to the club, he said: “I’m a nine and a half - I do both jobs - go in behind, hold up play, go in the channels, score goals and get assists.

“I want to be top goalscorer in the league and be up there in the assist charts.

“I want us to go for promotion and hopefully we’ll be in the league above next season.”

He added: “Expect goals and promotion.”

Playing alongside Fadahunsi at the back end of the season for Hendon was Kofi Anokye-Boadi, who was on loan from Chatham.

They will be team-mates again next season after Chats also confirmed Anokye-Boadi would be staying
