FOREST GREEN boss Dave Hockaday has made striker Tomi Ameobi his seventh signing since taking over at the New Lawn a fortnight ago.
The 21-year-old, who has been a free agent since his release by Doncaster this summer, will go into the squad for Saturday's home game with Grays at the New Lawn. Ameobi is the younger brother of Newcastle United frontman Shola.
He started as a trainee at Leeds and made his his debut for Leeds against Portsmouth in the Football League Cup. He was loaned out to the Championship side Scunthorpe United in November 2007.
After making nine appearances without scoring a goal, Ameobi returned to Leeds before joining Doncaster . In September 2008 he was loaned to Football League Two side Grimsby Town. He later returned to Doncaster after just two appearances, failing to impress newly appointed manager Mike Newell.
Ameobi signed for Blue Square Premier outfit Mansfield Town on loan in January 2009. He returned to Doncaster the following month, having played five games for Mansfield, but was released from his contract in May. He has of late been playing with Bradford City on a non contract basis
