Career

Oli came through the youth system at Queens Park Rangers and made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Wigan in February 2002.[1] He made 23 league appearances for Queen Park Rangers but was sent on loan to Gravesend & Northfleet in November 2003 to gain more first-team experience.[2] This was followed by a one-month loan to Farnborough Town in February 2004.[3] He joined Swansea City on a free transfer in August 2004 but made only one appearance before being released at the end of the month.[4] He joined Cambridge United on a one month deal in September 2004 after impressing during a short trial spell.[5] He made four appearances, scoring one goal against Mansfield,[6] for Cambridge but chose to leave at the end of his one month contract in October 2004.[1]

Oli joined Grays Athletic and made 18 appearances in the remainder of the 2004–05 season as Grays won promotion to the Conference National as Conference South champions and won the FA Trophy.[7][8][9] He made a further 43 appearances for Grays in the 2004–05 season as Grays reached the promotion playoffs and won the FA Trophy for a second year, when he scored the opening goal in the 2–0 victory over Woking.[10][11][12] He made 36 league and cup appearances in the 2006–07 season as Grays finished above the relegation places,[13] and signed a new two-year contract with Grays in May 2007.[14]

Former Grays manager, Mark Stimson, signed Oli for Gillingham on loan in November 2007 with a view to a permanent move in January 2008.[15] Oli made his Gillingham debut in a Football League Trophy southern section quarter final at home to Dagenham & Redbridge, scoring his first goal rounding off the 4–0 win on 13 November 2007.[16] He signed a permanent contract at Gillingham in January 2008, keeping him at the club until 2010.[17]
