Welling United have completed the signings of Finn O’Mara and Sam Mvemba.
Central defender Finn O’Mara, 21, makes the step up to the Vanarama National League South on a one-month loan from Folkestone Invicta.
The talented former Gillingham youngster made his professional debut aged 17 for the Medway club before joining Invicta in 2018, initially on loan. O’Mara has made 96 appearances for Folkestone - 82 starts, 14 as a substitute and has scored five goals for the club.
Left-back Sam Mvemba, 20 joins Welling on a dual registration from Isthmian Premier side Bishop’s Stortford. Mvemba joined Stortford last summer after two seasons at Aveley where he made 73 appearances for the club as a teenager. He was a key player in the Aveley side which made club history by reaching the FA Trophy quarter final in 2019/2020.
Mvemba’s promising displays at left-back saw him invited for trials at EFL Championship outfit Barnsley Football Club, where he spent a week in September 2020. The move to Welling represents a climb of two divisions for Sam inside six months.
O’Mara had trials at Sky Bet League One side Fleetwood Town in 2019.
Both go into the Welling United squad for this weekend’s game at Oxford City in the National League South, and will look to establish themselves at Step 2 level and show their undoubted promise. Good luck, guys!
