The forward has eight goals in 14 appearances for Worthing so far this season.
Only four days after they knocked Worthing out of the FA Cup with a 4-1 demolishing in front of their own fans, Forest Green Rovers have rubbed further salt in the wounds by signing their leading goal scorer, Temi Babalola.
The 24-year-old attacker, who has five FA Cup games in four games this campaign, has racked up plenty of non-league experience playing for teams such as Concord Rangers and Cheshunt FC.
Babalola joins an already very strong Robbie Savage attack, which includes Christian Doidge and Tom Knowles.
He becomes their 19th signing since the start of the season, with Liverpool-loanee James Balagizi being another.

The Green Devils sit second in the National League and are only a point behind leaders Rochdale, so it could be argued that they don’t need to be spending money on more fowards at this stage in the campaign.
However, as this is now their second attempt at getting back up to the Football League after they were relegated in 2024, there’s no doubt that Savage and owner Dale Vince are alike in thinking that this season is a case of ‘by any means necessary’.
Babalola is registered in time for the game against Carlisle tomorrow (Saturday, 17th October) in what could prove to be a huge game in the race for promotion.
The Cumbrians are sat in third on 29 points and trail Forest Green only on goal difference, who in turn trail Rochdale by a single point.
There’s only two points between first and fifth (Boreham Wood), so it really is all to play for in the National League.
