Farnham Town can confirm that striker Ogo Obi will be leaving the Club this summer upon the expiry of his contract.
After joining the Club from Wingate & Finchley last summer where he scored 27 goals in 41 games in the 24/25 campaign, Ogo was an immediate contributor to an attack that went on to score 128 goals this season.
Ogo’s first goal for the Club came off the bench at Dorchester Town in August 2025 where his late strike helped clinch a 3-1 win on the road.
That goal sparked an excellent run of form for Ogo which tallied 21 goal contributions including 16 goals in his next 30 appearances for the Club, proving to be a hugely impactful asset for us both from the start and off the bench.
A true match winner, Ogo scored important goals in the wins at Chichester City, Uxbridge, Basingstoke Town and Hungerford Town, but perhaps his most memorable moment would be the injury-time strike at home against Poole Town which secured a 2-1 victory.
Ogo’s last of his 16 goals for Farnham Town came on his final appearance for the Club when he came off the bench to score a vital winner in the dying embers of the game at Yate Town in February before suffering what would prove to be a season-ending foot injury later in the game.
Leading our goalscoring charts at the time, it’s likely that Ogo would’ve gone on to be our top scorer this season before injury derailed his campaign, but he leaves with the best minute-per-goal involvement ratio of the entire squad this season, averaging a goal or assist every 81 minutes.
“I have a lot of time for Ogo, and his personality in the group is going to be missed,” manager Paul Johnson said.
“He’s a quality goalscorer and was always prepared to do a job for us, whether that was from the start or off the bench, more often than not he was able to make an impact.
“Ogo’s got an infectious smile that lit up the dressing room. He’s got great character and will be a huge asset to his next Club. I’m sad to lose him but I wish him all the best.”
Chairman Harry Hugo adds: “It’s a big shame that Ogo’s season ended so prematurely, because he was really finding his stride at the time.
“We really felt Ogs’ absence down the stretch. Whether he was in from the start or coming off the bench, he was a perpetual goal threat and a real penalty box poacher.
“He scored some important match-winners throughout the season which helped us secure second place which was massively influential in the Play-Offs.
“What I admire most about Ogs is that, despite getting injured and spending much of the next two months in a boot, he was there every week at The Memorial Ground supporting his teammates the best way he could, and I’ll always be thankful for that.
“Ogs is a terrific striker, and deserves to be playing week in, week out with his new team next season, hopefully injury-free, and I’m sure he’ll be a huge hit. He’s one of the most prolific goalscorers at Step 3 in the last few years. I wish him nothing but the best.”
Everyone at Farnham Town would like to wish Ogo all the best as he moves on this summer, and will be following the next stages of his career fondly!
