Margate have strengthened their ranks with the signing of Nigerian-born attacking midfielder Fumnaya Shomotun on loan from League Two club Barnet.
The 19-year-old came through the Academy ranks at Brentford before he was snapped up by Barnet in 2014.
This is the second time he has been farmed out on loan by the Bees, having spent a portion of the 2015-2016 season at Staines Town .
Before the start of last season, Shomotun was one of the eight youngsters that penned a professional contract with Barnet, a reward for helping the U18s team win the Football League Youth Alliance South East division.
He is in line to make his debut for Margate when they take on Poole Town on Saturday.
