Hucknall Town Football Club have bolstered their attacking options for the 2026–27 United Counties League Premier Division North campaign with the return of wide forward Solace Uyi-Olaye, bringing a proven threat back to Arial Way.

The 31-year-old attacker (born 2 June 1995) is no stranger to the Yellows faithful. He originally signed for the club on 29 November 2024 from Belper United, quickly establishing himself in the forward line with his direct running and eye for goal—including netting from the penalty spot during a dramatic away victory over Newark and Sherwood United in September 2025. Uyi-Olaye subsequently departed during the club's pre-season squad update on 6 June 2026, spending time registered with fellow division side Kimberley Miners Welfare earlier in the 2026–27 term before making his return to Hucknall.

Holding dual Dutch and Beninese citizenship, Solace Osargue Uyi-Olaye brings a rich footballing pedigree to the dressing room. Developed in the Netherlands, he featured in the Dutch league pyramid with Jong FC Twente in the Tweede Divisie during the 2016–17 season and Papendorp in the Derde Divisie in 2017–18 (where he scored four goals in five appearances). Since moving into English non-league football, he has gained extensive regional experience across the East Midlands with spells at Corby Town, Clifton All Whites, Radford, Belper United, and Kimberley Miners Welfare.

His arrival comes at a crucial juncture for Hucknall Town, who have been searching for added spark in the final third alongside current leading scorers Gabriel Ebede and Callum Orange following a challenging run of form. Capable of operating on either flank or stretching opposition backlines with his pace, Uyi-Olaye offers immediate versatility and familiarity with the club's environment.

Supporters will be hoping to see the winger back in action as Hucknall Town prepare for upcoming league fixtures, including a clash against local rivals Eastwood CFC.
