Ebbsfleet United can confirm today that defender Tobi Adebayo-Rowling has declined our offer of a new deal to accept terms from a club higher up the football pyramid for 2022/23.
Tobi departs with our very best wishes as he embarks upon this new opportunity; a popular player in the dressing room, around the club and amongst supporters, we thank Tobi for all his efforts and hard work in a Fleet shirt over the past two seasons. Tobi’s move up the pyramid is testament to his talent and hard work hand in hand with our philosophy as a club around player welfare, development and constant improvement and we congratulate him on his move.
The 25-year-old signed for the Fleet from Eastbourne Borough in the summer of 2020, having previously played for Peterborough United, Sligo Rovers and Bromley. He made his debut against Hastings United in the FA Cup and played his final game for the Fleet before being injured at home to former club Eastbourne at the end of February. In all, Tobi made 44 appearances for the club, scoring his only goal against Maidstone United in November.
Departing the Fleet, Tobi told the club website, “It’s very emotional leaving. I wish the club all the best for the future and send my love to all the staff and supporters. Ebbsfleet is a club in my heart and I really hope to see you all back where you belong next season.”
