Hartford Athletic News Release
Hartford Athletic announced today that they have signed forward Adewale Obalola ahead of the 2025 season, pending league and federation approval.
The Nigerian forward spent the last two seasons with FK Ekranas of the Pirma Lyga, Lithuania's second tier. The 20-year-old proved to be a dynamic playmaker and goalscorer for Ekranas, netting 15 goals and dishing out 11 assists across 30 appearances.
"Addy is an exciting young talent and a versatile addition to our attacking unit," said Head Coach and General Manager Brendan Burke. "Not only has he shown excellent finishing ability, but also the ability to put his teammates in position to score. I can't wait to see him play with Michee, Momo, and the rest of our attacking players."
Obalola is a product of Rainbow Sports Global, the same sports enterprise that brought Mamadou Dieng and Pele Ousmanou to Hartford Athletic.
Hartford Athletic's roster continues to expand, as more player signings will be announced in the coming weeks.
