The former Oxford United player is the brother-in-law of former Leeds United and French international Olivier Dacourt, and Sylla has developed a reputation as one of the leading goal scorers in the English non-league pyramid in recent years.

Sylla joined Banbury United in the summer of 2002 and finished as one of the top scorers in the Dr Martens League, attracting interest from a number of clubs, including
Chelsea

After spells with Havant & Waterlooville and Barnet, he then moved to
Tamworth

Sylla signed for Redditch United last season in a £3,000 deal after a successful loan spell with the club, going on to score 22 goals in Nationwide North.
