EASTLEIGH have confirmed the signing of defender Temi Eweka following his departure from Maidstone United, subject to clearance.

The 25 year old arrives at the Silverlake off the back of his first full year in full-time football with Maidstone, under manager George Elokobi.

On his National League South debut, Eweka scored a dramatic 89th-minute winner and continued to impress with his assured performances.

Upon joining the Spitfires, he commented: "Once I knew there was interest, with the other clubs that were interested in me, Eastleigh was the one I wanted to go to.

"After speaking to the gaffer, as a footballer, it's always nice to be wanted, and the interest he showed in me was top, and from walking around and meeting everyone, it seems like a top club already, so I'm happy to be here!"

Eweka, 25, began his career at Dartford, before gaining valuable senior experience with VCD Athletic, Kingstonian, and Hastings United on loan.

He played a key role in Bracknell Town's 2021/22 Isthmian League South Central title-win, making 35 appearances and contributing six goals.

The defender's performances earned him a move to Maidenhead United in the National League for the 2022/23 season, where loan spells followed.

During his initial loan spell with Slough Town, he helped steer the Rebels clear of relegation with a series of assured performances in defence.

He was quickly signed on a permanent basis in August 2023 and went on to play 46 matches, score three goals, and help the team secure a top-half finish while reaching the First Round of the Emirates FA Cup.
