24-year-old could be loaned out by Swindon Town
Nnamdi Ofoborh might be available for loan out, according to Swindon Town manager Mark Kennedy.
To give the midfielder additional playing time, Swindon Town may set up a temporary exit for him. He has an agreement with the County Ground that expires in June 2025.
If Ofoborh, 24, were to leave Wiltshire, he could only sign with a team in the National League or lower. Since the transfer window closed last Friday, he will not be able to join with a team in the Football League until January.
Former Lincoln City manager Kennedy provided the following update on his situation, which was reported by the Swindon Advertiser: “Nnamdi is a valued member of the squad, but if Nnamdi felt that going somewhere else was the best way to get minutes, then we would facilitate and support him in that.” We would welcome Nnamdi with open arms should he declare, “I want to stay here and really fight for my place.” He is a very good player.
“If someone is hurt, he steps right in; he’s already started a number of our games.” However, I believe that in the future, if I were to be strict with myself, I would consider the places where he will be able to receive the most football.
Ofoborh was initially signed by Swindon Town in March on a short-term contract; however, early this summer, his tenure was extended by an additional year.
Since then, he has made 11 appearances in all competitions for the League Two team, tallying one goal.
Their choices in the middle of the park are given competitiveness and depth by the former Nigerian youth international.
Nevertheless, given his present club’s poor odds of getting regular playing time, they might try to send him somewhere to play football with the first team.
During his youth, Ofoborh was signed by Millwall before joining AFC Bournemouth.
In the middle of the park, the former Nigerian youth international gives their choices some competition and depth.
His present club may attempt to send him somewhere to play football with the first team, but his chances of getting regular game time are currently minimal.
Before joining AFC Bournemouth, Ofoborh was a player on the books of Millwall.
After rising through the ranks at the Cherries, he played five games for the senior squad and had two loan stints at Wycombe Wanderers.
The London native relocated to Scotland in 2021 to play for Rangers, however he never played for the Glasgow giants in a competitive match.
It will take time to see if anyone is interested in Ofoborh. In the upcoming weeks, it would be best for him to drop a league.
Swindon Town will return to action this weekend when they travel to Barrow. They have only won once in their first four league games, losing 2-1 to Notts County at home in their most recent encounter.
