21 year old Nigerian footballer, James Alabi, has signed a one year deal with Chester Football Club in England. Alabi arrived at the Lookers Vauxhall Stadium back in late January following his release from Ipswich Town. He will wear the number 9 shirt next season taking it over from Ross Hannah who joined Barrow last week after scoring 26 goals for Chester last season. Alabi was delighted, and said:

“I’m happy to get the deal sorted early on – so it’s a good day for me. As a striker, you always want the number nine shirt so it’s given me even more motivation to push on. I hope to do as much as Ross (Hannah) did with the shirt. I spoke to Kane (Richards) before signing and I’m delighted we can team up again next season and push on from where we left off at the back end of the season.” he said
