Arsenal defender Mazeed Ogungbo has signed with Barrow AFC.

Ogungbo leaves Arsenal in a permanent deal, penning a two-year contract with Barrow.

The defender spent eights years with Arsenal and is an U19 Republic of Ireland international.

He told Barrow's website: “It feels amazing I'm excited to get going, to meet the boys and it's been a great process in getting to know the Gaffer and the way he wants to play so I'm really looking forward to it.

“When I was on loan last season at Crawley, we played Barrow near the end of the season and from there things just started moving in the right direction and I'm really excited to come here and start.

“I really really like the playing style, the intensity we play, and also the fans and the fanbase was something that really stood out to me when I played there last season. It just feels like a real family environment which is something that's really important for me and will obviously help everyone perform out on the pitch."

Ogungbo added: “I'm quite a relaxed person but I'm also a very sociable person and like to speak to people and get to know them, but I just like to be around people and to have good vibes and good energy in the changing room to make sure we're ready to play.

“As a player, I'd say I'm very progressive and I like to move the ball forward and I'd say I'm quite technical and athletic as well and I like to get crosses in the box and to get shots off and just combine and attack. In defense as I well I like to defend with intensity and help the team keep clean sheets."
