Alimi-Adetoro was one of a number of players who left the Owls this summer after decisions were made not to extend their deals at Hillsborough, and that deal expired officially on July 1st – making him a free agent. He made one senior appearance for the club, in the FA Cup last year, prior to his exit.
A statement from the club on Tuesday read, “FC Halifax Town are delighted to announce the signing of 6’5″ centre back, Adam Alimi-Adetoro, following his release from Championship side Sheffield Wednesday on a two-year deal.” They then went on to confirm his place in their starting XI for a game against Hyde United.
The big centre back played his part in the game as they fell to a 2-1 defeat with a side full of trialists, and he’ll be hoping to help them kick on in the upcoming season as he aims to make his first proper steps in senior football.
