Ex FC United of Manchester striker targets goals after Finn Harps move

TUNDE Owolabi wants to rediscover his goalscoring form after penning a one-year deal at Finn Harps.

Owolabi has been unveiled by Harps this afternoon.

The 25-year-old Belgian scored 35 goals in 41 games with FC United of Manchester before moving to Hamilton Academical last summer.

Owolabi joined Hamilton Accademical, but was released last month.

“I like to score goals and hopefully I can get back to the level I was at last year,” Owolabi said.

“I work hard, I’m fast, I like to run in behind and stretch the play to create space for my teammates. It’s about trying to help the team win games and seeing what we can do this season.”

His haul for FC United of Manchester included 28 goals in 28 games and appears an astute signing by Ollie Horgan.

The Harps boss said: “He gives us another option at the top end of the pitch which is good. He comes with a bit of experience at a good level of football so hopefully he settles in well with us.”

Owolabi has featured as a trialist for Harps during their pre-season campaign, which continued with a 3-1 win at Athlone Town yesterday, with goals from Ethan Boyle, Shane McEleney and an own goal.

Harps take on Cork City next weekend in Dublin before they host Bohemians on Saturday, March 20, in their first Premier Division game of the 2021 season.

The game has been changed from its original March 19 date.
