Stevenage have signed O. Sanderson from Fulham on a two-year contract, with the terms of the deal undisclosed. He did not make a senior appearance for Fulham, but he arrives with one clear selling point: 19 goals in 41 appearances on loan at Woking last season.
Why Stevenage have backed his output
That Woking spell is the reason this move makes sense. Sanderson was doing the job in the National League, and Stevenage are taking a player who has already shown he can score regularly in senior football, even if it was at a lower level.
The fit is pretty straightforward. Stevenage have not been getting the results they want, with the club on 0 wins in their last 5 matches, so a forward who has just produced 19 goals is a useful addition rather than a speculative one.
There is also the step up from Fulham's environment to League One football, which gives this transfer a different edge. Sanderson is not arriving as a name alone, he is arriving off numbers that suggest he can handle the workload of being a regular scorer. For Stevenage, that is the real appeal, and the next test is whether he can turn that Woking return into goals at a higher level.
