Kamil Conteh: Bristol Rovers sign Grimsby Town midfielder on deal until 2027

Kamil Conteh signed a three-year deal with Grimsby when he joined last summer and played 25 times in the league for them this season

Bristol Rovers have signed midfielder Kamil Conteh from Grimsby Town until June 2027 for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old joined the Mariners last July on a three-year deal from Middlesbrough, where he failed to make a first-team appearance.

He made 29 appearances for League Two Grimsby this season, across all competitions.

Conteh has also been capped eight times by Sierra Leone, making his international debut last year.

Prior to joining Boro, Conteh began his career in Watford's academy and he also had a spell on loan at National League side Gateshead in 2022-23, scoring three goals in 24 games and helping the side reach the FA Trophy final.

"It's been in the pipeline now for a little while, so I'm so pleased to get it over the line, and to get him down here and have him available for Saturday's game," Rovers manager Matt Taylor said.

"He's a player we've admired for a period of time now. I think he adds something to our midfield."
