Chiedozie suffered life-changing injuries when he was hit by a car when on the hard shoulder of the M27 in February.
He was on his way back from a Bashley game against Tavistock when he picked up a puncture and stopped before he was hit.
Having progressed through the academy ranks at Bournemouth, he spent seven years at the club and served his apprenticeship there.
The 30-year-old also played in the high-profile pre-season game against Real Madrid at Dean Court in 2013.

The non-league community rallied around Chiedozie and the club, contributing in numbers to the fundraiser as he continues his recovery.
Collections were held by Mousehole, Bishops Cleeve, Tavistock, Bideford, Westbury, Shaftesbury, AFC Totton, Sholing, Poole Town and Wimborne Town.

Connell’s development squad had a successful campaign in 2024/25, reaching the final of the Professional Development League playoffs.
They reached that stage having beaten Burnley 4-3 in the semifinals, that victory being the 14th win in a row.
That remarkable run saw the Cherries soar up the table, eventually seeing them finish atop the south group.
[But the young Cherries were defeated by Brentford, who finished second, in the playoff final, falling to a 3-2 defeat at the Vitality Stadium.](https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/25182488.afc-bournemouth-beaten-brentford-development-league-final/)
