Biography
Shane Oakley was one of Justin Gardner’s first summer signings in his first full season as manager at Mill Field. Oakley was a youngster with League 1 side Leyton Orient and has also had spells with AFC Hornchurch and Concord Rangers. Oakley started last season like a house on fire, at one point being Aveley’s top scorer following a hat-trick in a 5-0 win over Potters Bar. But health issues curtailed his season early with the striker finishing the season with 12 goals in 23 appearances.
