Olufela Olomola – Yeovil Town

Of all the Saints loanees, Olomola has been the stand out performer so far. The 19-year-old striker joined the Glovers at the start of the season and hit the ground running, scoring four goals in six games.

Olomola has approached his loan move with a great attitude. As he told SomersetLive last month:

"“I’ve worked really hard from when I was a youngster to get an opportunity like this and right now I just want to take it with both hands.”"

Unfortunately for Olomola, he sustained a leg injury in the 3-1 win at league leaders Exeter at the end of August. He then aggravated the injury in a 0-0 draw against Cheltenham a couple of weeks later, and is now seeing a specialist to assess his route back.

After such a positive start, hopefully he can make a quick recovery and return to the first eleven.
