Drogheda United snap up striker Ahu Obhakhan from Institute

Drogheda United have signed striker Ahu Obhakhan from Institute.

The Drogheda native, 24, moved to Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey in 2015 after previously playing for Shelbourne at underage level.

Obhakhan was named to the NEC All-Conference First Team in 2017, became the first player in the University’s history to be named a CoSIDA Academic All-American and was named the NEC Men’s Soccer Scholar-Athlete of the Year two years in a row.

Two years ago he signed his first pro contract, moving to Spain to join UDC Torredonjimeno of the Tercera Division, before joining Institute early last year.

Obhakhan is the third new addition Tim Clancy has made in recent weeks following the recent signings of Joe Redmond and Kaleem Simon.
