Alabi brings a wealth of pedigree to the squad, having made hundreds of appearances in the National League and EFL. With the ability to play as a central striker or out wide, James is a major addition to Kelvin Langmead’s attacking options.

Coming through the academy at Stoke City, Alabi has represented several top league and non-league clubs, including a spell at Step-2 Bath City, and Welling last season. A handful for any defence, the 30-year-old has already impressed the Banbury United faithful during pre-season.

Welcome to The Puritans, James!
