Sutton United have bolstered their goalkeeping department by signing 21 year old David Aziaya on 26 June ahead of their 2025–26 National League campaign. The towering keeper joins from Bromley, where he impressed with a loan spell at Finn Harps, making ten league appearances during the 2025 League of Ireland season.
A product of the Norwich City academy, Aziaya moved to Britain from the Kinetic Foundation in South London at 17. He later spent time on loan at Barnsley youth before signing his professional terms with Norwich. At Bromley, he honed his craft in the non‑league, playing for Chatham, Dover Athletic, Salisbury and Dartford, and made his debut for Bromley’s first team in a 1–0 victory over Wealdstone during promotion‑charging February 2024.
Standing 6 ft 6 in, he adds size and athleticism to Sutton’s lineup. A brief but productive stint in Ireland, where he appeared regularly and impressed scouts, paved the way for this move. Aziaya now competes for the No. 1 shirt at Gander Green Lane.
Editorial
We’ve followed Aziaya’s unconventional ascent with fascination: from South London academy prospect to Bromley standout, to first‑team debut in a key National League win and now to Sutton United. His path exemplifies the power of perseverance over pedigree.

We feel Sutton have made a calculated signing. Asiaya isn’t just a body between the sticks he brings youth, athleticism and a hunger nurtured across varied environments. The loan to Finn Harps and subsequent recall reflect ambition and adaptability.
We believe his height and presence will be a real asset to Sutton’s defensive resilience. In a league where set‑pieces can decide tight matches, a 6 ft 6 in shot‑stopper capable of commanding crosses and organising from the back provides a tactical advantage.
We think this move could signal a new era for both player and club. Aziaya gains opportunity in a competitive environment Sutton strengthen a position pivotal to staying firmly in National League contention, and possibly chasing promotion.
We’re optimistic he’ll thrive. Given determination and backing, he could not only challenge for the starting spot but reshape Sutton’s defensive stability. It’s a promising signing and one that could unlock both his and the team’s ambitions this season.
