Former Crewe Alexandra striker Omar Bogle has signed a one-year contract with National League side Truro City. The 33-year-old forward was released by the League Two club this summer after two seasons at the Mornflake Stadium.
Crewe Alexandra currently sit 2nd in League Two with six points from two wins, having scored two goals and conceded none. The club's strong start to the season, with a perfect record and a +2 goal difference, provides a positive backdrop as they move on from squad members like Bogle. This news was first reported by the BBC.
What did Omar Bogle achieve at Crewe?
Omar Bogle spent two full seasons with Crewe Alexandra after joining the club. He made a total of 49 appearances for the Railwaymen, finding the net nine times during his spell. His departure this summer came as Crewe manager Lee Bell reshaped his attacking options ahead of the new campaign. Bogle brought a decade of EFL experience to Gresty Road, having previously played for clubs like Wigan Athletic, Cardiff City, and Portsmouth.
Why did he choose Truro City?
Speaking about his move, Bogle highlighted the project at Truro as a key factor. "Having spoken to the gaffer (John Askey), about the plans the club has got, it was important for me at the stage of my life and career, to join a project," he said. The veteran striker will now link up with manager John Askey, who has been building his squad over several seasons. Bogle's most prolific recent season came in 2022-23 with Newport County, where he scored 19 goals in 54 games, demonstrating he still has the capacity to be a major threat.
Where does this leave Crewe Alexandra?
Crewe Alexandra's squad is now set, with the focus fully on maintaining their excellent early league form. The team's perfect defensive record and two wins from two games show a solid foundation. Fans can track the team's progress and upcoming matches on the club's fixtures and standings pages. Bogle's exit opens opportunities for other forwards in the squad to establish themselves as Crewe aims for a successful season.
What can Truro City expect from Bogle?
Omar Bogle has set clear expectations for his new supporters. "From me personally, I hope the fans will see goals, excitement and I like to express myself when I am on the pitch," he stated. His physical presence and proven goal-scoring ability, particularly from his time at Newport, will be a significant addition to Truro's attack. The one-year deal gives both player and club a chance to assess the partnership. For Crewe followers, his move concludes a chapter, but the club's immediate on-field success is the primary story.
The transfer window activity and current squad depth can be viewed on the official squad page. With the season underway, Crewe Alexandra's early performances have generated optimism, making the departure of a seasoned professional like Bogle a footnote in a promising new campaign.
