Odubade departs Eastleigh, Essam moves on loan to Woking

-
Yemi Odubade has departed Eastleigh FC by mutual consent. The popular striker has moved on from the Spitfires after 3 years with the club.

Yemi scored 7 goals in 35 games in his first campaign for the club to help the club secure promotion from the Conference South as Champions in the 2013/2014 season.

In total Odubade, who joined Eastleigh from Gateshead, made 136 appearances scoring 22 times in the blue of Eastleigh. We wish Yemi all the best for the future and thank him for his service to the club.

In other news, defender Connor Essam has joined Woking on a 93-day loan spell.

Explaining the departures, boss Ronnie Moore said: "Connor's desperate to play football and we've told Yemi he's free to go where he wants to. It's just the way football works.

“I’ve got a decent group here and we’re two or three players away from being a real threat but, to get them, I’ve got to let some go.

"I had a meeting with six of them and they all know the position they're in. Now it's a waiting game. Some of them have refused to go to some of the clubs (that have come in for them).

"I don't want to shift too many because, you know what it's like, you'll get injuries and all of a sudden it's you out there looking for players on loan and you look a bit of a p..t!"

Subs: Robinson (on for Blaxall 40), Bamba (on for Watt 50), Easton (on for White 70). By Jamie Montigue Match Photos - Here After just two minutes, Eastleigh Reserves found themselves a goal behind. A long ball forward from the visitors was met by a tidy finish with a fine lob over stranded Eastleigh goalkeeper Freddie Toomer and into the net. Ben White headed wide from an Aaron Blaxall left wing cross soon after, before Nick Watt fired narrowly over the cross bar with a good attempt from a free kick 20 yards out, to the left of goal. Tooting & Mitcham really should have been two goals to the good but were left ruing a squandered chance as an unmarked man at the far post headed wide with the goal at his mercy. In the 26th minute Ben White had the ball in
