Sol Wanjau-Smith is a Bluebird!

The forward player signs following a playoff campaign last season!

Chippenham Town are delighted to announce the signing of Sol Wanjau-Smith, subject to the necessary clearances.

Sol joins off of the back of a playoff run with Maidstone last season, and you may well remember him scoring against us for the Stones at the Gallagher Stadium back in March.

You will also recognise Sol from our pre-season match against Hereford, where he came off of the bench to net the winner for us.

He has played over 100 matches at National League South level, starting with Hungerford, before a transfer to Maidstone United for their 22/23 National League season. Despite relegation, he would stay with the Stones and help them to reach the 23/24 playoffs, of which they fell in the semi-finals.

His second season in Maidstone colours saw Sol make history, as his Maidstone side reached the FA Cup Fifth Round, with Sol assisting Sam Corne’s equaliser against Barrow in Round Two.

For 24/25, Sol moved closer to home, and joined Bath City, before re-joining Maidstone on loan from November, and helping them reach the playoff final last season.

Outside of football Sol has gained a large following online, with over 100 Thousand followers on TikTok, in which he showcases behind the scenes content, and what life is like as a footballer.

Speaking following his signing, Sol said:

“It is really important for me to go to to a place where I am going to be loved and appreciated and I think that this is the perfect place to bring out the best in me”
