Tomi Ameobi off to Doncaster Rovers

Jul-22-2008 By Chris Hudson

As we suggested would happen yesterday, the sale of teenage striker Tomi Ameobi to Doncaster Rovers has taken place today.

Tomi has spent the last week training with Championship side Doncaster Rovers and his efforts have been rewarded by their manager Sean O’Driscoll with a contract.

Doncaster have agreed what is described as “an appearance related transfer fee” with Leeds, for whom Tomi made just two first-team appearances, both Cup matches.

Gary McAllister said,

“Opportunities would have been limited for Tomi this season.

“I am looking to strengthen in terms of strikers and we have some young players coming through in that area as well.

“We wish Tomi all the best for the future.”

With Macca still looking to sign another two strikers and Elding refusing to budge it seems young Ameobi has been let go in order to reduce the wage bill.
