Carlisle United are delighted to announce the permanent signing of forward Micah Obiero from Wealdstone for an undisclosed fee.
The 25-year-old joins the Blues on a two-year deal with the option of a further year.
Obiero, 25, will already be a familiar face to United supporters, having spent time on loan at Brunton Park from Huddersfield Town during the 2020/21 season, making seven appearances and scoring once.
The forward came through the Terriers academy and made his senior debut in the Championship before gaining further first-team experience on loan at FC Halifax Town.
He joined Boston United in the summer of 2022 before moving to Wealdstone later that year, where he has since established himself as a regular at National League level.
The attacker has made more than 170 appearances for the Stones, with his most productive campaign coming last season.
Playing regularly as a striker, he scored 17 goals in all competitions during the 2025/26 campaign and was named Wealdstone's Players' Player of the Season.
He has continued that form into the current campaign, scoring three times in the opening weeks of the National League season, including a brace in Wealdstone's 2-0 victory at Sutton United.
Obiero also received his first senior international call-up for Kenya earlier this year and has since made his international debut.
Sporting Director, Marc Tierney said: “Micah is a fast, dynamic attacking player who brings pace, directness and a real goal threat to our squad.
“He has the ability to stretch defences, attack space and make things happen in the final third.
“Having previously spent time with the club as a young player during the 2020/21 season, Micah already has an understanding of Carlisle and what the club means to the area.
“He has developed significantly since that spell, and we believe he now returns as a more experienced and complete player, ready to make a real impact. We’re delighted to welcome him back to Carlisle United."
Head Coach, Rob Elliot added: “Micah’s an exciting player. He’s got huge technical ability, scores a lot of goals and has great pace and power. He works hard and he’s got that little bit of magic as well, which can unlock teams.
“He gives us a different dimension to our attack and he’s someone we also think can be developed and get better within the squad. He fits into what we’re trying to do. He’s young, he’s hungry and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”
Micah has been allocated shirt number 19 and will be eligible to make his United debut this weekend against Southend United.
This move is subject to ratification from The FA and National League.
