Kareem certainly knows where the goal is, and he’ll be a strong addition to the squad in the short to mid-term
Scott Davies
Slough Town are pleased to announce the signing of 23-year-old forward Kareem Isiaka.
Kareem is an exciting young talent who began his football journey in the Charlton Athletic academy, progressing through the youth ranks from 2013 to 2020. During his time at Charlton, he featured prominently for their U18 and U23 squads before moving to Welling United in October 2020.
In March 2021, Isiaka took his talents abroad, joining Icelandic side UMF Víkingur Ólafsvík. After gaining valuable international experience, he returned to Britain in 2022, signing for Arbroath in the Scottish Championship. In January 2023, Kareem moved to Billericay Town, where he made a significant impact during the second half of the 2022/23 season, scoring six goals in as many matches.
Most recently, Isiaka spent time at Chatham Town last season, where he scored 18 goals in all competitions, including 13 in the Isthmian League Premier Division, in 30 appearances.
Manager Scott Davies had the following to say about Kareem’s arrival:
“Kareem is someone we’ve known about for a while and who recently became available. He spent the majority of pre-season with a National League side, where he was unlucky not to secure a deal.
“Since then, he has trained with us on several occasions but hasn’t played any competitive football, so the plan is to get him up and running in a way that suits both him and us.
“Kareem certainly knows where the goal is, having produced some good numbers at Chatham last season, and he’ll be a strong addition to the squad in the short to mid-term.”
Welcome to the Rebels, Kareem!
