Stanley Obinna Anaebonam (born 14 April 1999) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Southern League Premier Division South club Gloucester City.
Anaebonam began his career in his native Norway with the youth team of IK Start, [1] before moving to England in 2016 and featuring for Midland League Premier Division club AFC Wulfrunians during the 2017–18 season. [2]
Anaebonam then moved to National League club Solihull Moors, but never made an appearance for the club as he predominantly featured for their academy team Solihull United in the Midland League. In October 2020, he made an appearance for Wem Town in the West Midlands (Regional) League, scoring a goal in a 2–2 draw. [3] In January 2020, he moved to Southern League Premier Division Central club Redditch United, [4] but was soon back at Solihull.
On 4 September 2021, Anaebonam signed for League of Ireland First Division club Shelbourne. [5] He made three appearances as Shelbourne won the league title and earned promotion to the League of Ireland Premier Division at the first attempt since their relegation in the previous season. In November 2021, he agreed a deal to remain at the club for the 2022 season. [6] However in July 2022, Shelbourne announced that he had left the club, after making nine substitute appearances. [7]
After leaving Shelbourne, Anaebonam returned to England to join Southern League Premier Division South club Truro City ahead of the 2022–23 season. After spending two months at the Cornwall-based club, on 14 October 2022, Anaebonam joined Southern League Premier Division Central club Hednesford Town. He again spent just two months at Hednesford before joining league rivals Stourbridge on 11 December 2022, where he saw the remainder of the season out. [2] [8]
On 7 June 2023, newly promoted National League North club Rushall Olympic announced they had signed Anaebonam, [9] but two weeks later, on 22 June 2023, he had signed for Hereford, also of the National League North. [10] [11] He made his debut as a substitute in the opening league fixture of the season, and his full debut in the opening home league fixture of the season. He was released by Hereford at the end of August 2023, after making five appearances. [12]
On 5 September 2023, it was announced that Anaebonam had rejoined Stourbridge. [13]
In March 2024, Anaebonam joined Bromsgrove Sporting. [14]
