Woking Football Club is pleased to announce the signing of Inih Effiong.
The 34-year-old striker rejoins the club from fellow National League side Braintree Town on a deal until the end of the 2025-26 season.
Inih’s first spell with the Cards came when he was signed by Anthony Limbrick after departing Barrow in the summer of 2017. He had previously played for St Albans, Boreham Wood and Biggleswade Town, the latter of which where he scored 39 goals in 68 games and attracted National League attention.
Following a successful half-season with the Cards where he scored ten goals in all competitions, Inih joined Scottish Premiership side Ross County in January 2018, making three appearances before leaving Scotland in the summer to return back to England.
Dover Athletic was his next stop, scoring 28 times in 90 appearances before a short spell with Stevenage in League Two featuring loans at Barnet and Notts County.
Inih then rejoined the Cards in May 2021, scoring 13 times in 42 appearances before choosing to join rivals Aldershot Town. His form at the Shots saw him join Dagenham & Redbridge for a fee in February 2023, shortly before being awarded National League Player of the Month for January after scoring seven goals.
After 48 games with the Daggers, scoring 25 goals, Effiong joined newly-promoted Braintree Town in the summer, where he netted twice.
He returns to the Cards looking to add some firepower up front.
New Woking Director of Football, Jody Brown says:
“Inih was always in our planning, and we are pleased to be able to make this happen so quickly”
“We thank Braintree for their assistance on making this happen”
“Inih knows the club from a previous spell, and has great experience at this level, in this kind of situation - where he has often proven to be the go to guy in those clubs battle for survival and eventual turnarounds”
“He adds experience and leadership to the team, and of course we believe the way he has been playing, his performances and profile add something that’ll help us win”
“It’s not just goals we are looking for, we know they’ll come. We all believe he brings much more than just that.”
