He scored his first goal for the club in a resounding 4-1 away victory over Plymouth Argyle. Omigie made semi-regular appearances through to the end of the season, but failed to appear in the Bees" unsuccessful playoff campaign.
He finished the 1996-1997 season having made 15 appearances and scored one goal.
