Speaking about the signing, Bromley boss Andy Woodman said: “I think with the way we’re trying to play football, Omar is going to be a really good addition to our defensive unit and in the opposite box too.”

He links up with fellow former Yeovil players Byron Webster and striker Courtney Duffus at Hayes Lane.
