Key Players
The journeyman forward has had stints at many clubs in the lower leagues including Woking and Stevenage. He also played for Ross County in Scotland. The target man joined The Daggers on the day of the reverse fixture from fellow National League club Aldershot Town and has impressed so far being, the focal point they have needed.
Dagenham were looking for a forward and got one of the best in the divison in Effiong whilst also weakening another club. The 32-year-old has managed 4 goals and 1 assist in 8 games since signing.
Nathan Sheron
Nathan Sheron has been a changed man since playing in his preferred position in the centre of midfield. Covering at right back througout the duration of the first half of the season, Sheron was often lost and mistakes crept into his game. Since being moved back into midfield, he has shown he is the utility, powerful and fearless strong tackler that Oldham desperately needed.
Tenacious and always up for the challenge and constantly running giving it all for the team. An adaptive and agile the 25-year-old always leaves everything on the pitch and is physically passionate.
