AFC Telford United in Telford, Shropshire, has released central defender David Solademi from his playing contract. The club announced the move on 02 March 2026, after the player suffered a recurrence of a serious knee injury during a game in late February.
The injury happened during a 2-2 draw against South Shields on 21 February 2026. Because David Solademi is expected to be away from the pitch for a long time, both the player and the club agreed to end his contract early. Manager Kevin Wilkin had previously mentioned the injury situation in his notes for the matchday programme before the official confirmation.
Solademi joined the team as a free agent and has previously played for other clubs including Alfreton Town and Alvechurch. His departure comes at a busy time as the team prepares for several fixtures in the National League North throughout March. The club is currently trying to secure a place in the play-offs while managing other squad changes, such as the recent arrival of midfielder Dylan Mitchell.
Following a 3-1 victory against Leamington on 03 March 2026, the team will move forward with their match against AFC Fylde as they look to maintain their position in the league. Supporters can expect to see changes in the defensive lineup as the manager works to fill the gap left by Solademi during this critical part of the season.
