Former Sutton Utd loan striker Osman Foyo joins Rhode Island FC
Sutton Utd's former loan striker Osman Foyo has completed a permanent transfer to USL Championship side Rhode Island FC. The 21-year-old joined AFC Wimbledon in January 2025 before spending time on loan at Gander Green Lane last season, scoring twice in ten appearances.
What happened during Foyo's time at Sutton Utd?
Foyo arrived at Sutton Utd on loan from AFC Wimbledon in the 2025-26 season. The young striker made ten appearances for the U's, scoring twice. His goals came in crucial moments, helping the team secure vital points in their National League campaign. Despite his efforts, Sutton Utd finished 19th in the National League with 47 points, 11 wins, 14 draws, and 21 losses. Their recent form saw them lose their last five matches, including a 1-0 defeat to Boreham Wood on April 25, 2026.
Why did Foyo leave AFC Wimbledon?
Foyo's move to Rhode Island FC comes after a promising start to his career at AFC Wimbledon. The striker joined the Dons from Ipswich Town in January 2025 and made six appearances as they secured promotion to League One. However, with limited opportunities at Plough Lane, Foyo sought a new challenge abroad. His loan spell at Sutton Utd provided valuable experience, and he now looks to establish himself in the USL Championship.
What comes next for Sutton Utd?
With Foyo's loan spell concluded, Sutton Utd will look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The U's finished the 2025-26 campaign with 59 goals scored and 79 conceded, resulting in a -20 goal difference. They are currently 61 points behind league leaders York. Manager Paul Doswell will be focused on bringing in new talent to improve their attacking options and defensive solidity.
