Aldershot Town are delighted to announce the signing of defender Kiki Oshilaja, who joins from Slough Town ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The 26-year-old defender joins after impressive spells with both Slough and Cray Valley Paper Mills, the latter for whom he spent three standout seasons making 121 appearances and becoming an influential presence both on the pitch and in the dressing room.
Kiki started out at Dulwich Hamlet, coming through their youth system before gaining senior experience at several clubs including Carshalton Athletic, Thamesmead Town, Sheppey United, Beckenham Town, and VCD Athletic. During his time at VCD, he made 50 appearances over two seasons and earned the club’s Player of the Season award in 2021/22.
He moved to Cray Valley in 2022 and quickly cemented his place in the back line. In the 2023/24 season, he played a key role as the team secured the Isthmian League South East Division title, suffering just one defeat and conceding only 32 goals in 38 matches. He also featured in their memorable FA Cup run, which saw them reach the First Round and push Charlton Athletic to a replay.
Moving to Slough in 2025, Kiki has already enjoyed an excellent year under Scott Davies, making 35 league appearances across the campaign just gone, scoring five goals and earning the side’s ‘Players’ player of the Season’ award.
Davies had this to say about his reunited stalwart:
“Kiki is someone that I’ve had the luxury of playing with over the past season at Slough. Kiki has worked his way up the levels and had plenty of interest this summer from various clubs, so to secure him so early on is great news.
He’s dominant aerially, extremely mobile and also very good in possession, so I’m sure that with all that said, he will be a great addition to the football club.”
Welcome to the Shots, Kiki!
