Baggie has the buzz back after moving to Boro
Attacker Abdulai Baggie says Gosport Borough is the ‘right fit’ for him as he bids to be part of a Southern League Premier South promotionwinning side for the second time in his career this season.
The speedy Sierra Leone international has swapped league rivals Salisbury to join up with Shaun Gale's Privett Park side.
Baggie's switch represents his fourth different club in the space of two summers, having gone from Eastleigh to National League South Hawks this time last year, prior to departing Westleigh Park before the season was out to end the campaign with Salisbury.
The 30-year-old admitted the past couple of campaigns have proven ‘frustrating’ for him, but he is pushing to rediscover his best form and ‘excited’ to see what his new club Gosport can achieve next term.
‘I spoke to the gaffer (Shaun Gale; Gosport Borough), it just seemed the right fit for me, he said to me about the personnel which he was looking to bring in, which has happened, he kept to his word and it's got me excited again. The potential incomings, what the club can do and achieve this season,’ said Boro addition Baggie.
‘It's been a frustrating two years for me on a personal level. Obviously leaving Weymouth to go full-time (at Eastleigh), it didn't really work out - just with style of play, really.
‘Not being disrespectful to both clubs, Eastleigh and Havant, they were two different styles where I was used to the ball on the ground. The ball was always (at Weymouth) on the floor so I'd try to find spaces and try to score.’
