The 30-year-old won't be signing a new deal at Borough Briggs, having been at City for the past season-and-a-half.

But winger Conor O'Keefe has agreed a new contract, bringing him into a third season with the Black and Whites.

Former Annan, Clyde, Queen's Park and Albion Rovers front man Osadolor joined Elgin in January last year.

He scored the winning goal in a 2-1 League 2 win at Brechin in his fourth sub appearance for City last February.

In his first starting appearance, he netted in a 3-1 win over Stirling Albion and made a total of eight appearances, seven as sub, before the campaign was closed down because of Covid.

Before the delayed start to the current season, Osadolor scored five goals in a friendly against Lossiemouth and looked set to stake a claim for a regular start.

He made 10 starts and 14 sub appearances in the shortened season, scoring once in a 3-0 win at Annan in April.

O'Keefe (22) - nicknamed 'Jinky' at the club - has made 30 starts and 21 sub appearances over the past two seasons, scoring four goals in the campaign just ending.
