Bristol Rovers are set to sell midfielder Kamil Conteh to Bromley as part of their clearout of players.

The 23-year-old was one of several players allowed to leave under Steve Evans’ watch as he aims to rebuild the Pirates into a promotion challenger heading into next season.

Ravens Strike Deal

According to Bristol Live’s Will Murray, Bromley are set to win the chase to sign Conteh, as they aim to strengthen ahead of a first-ever season in League One.

Interest has emerged throughout the summer for the Sierra Leone international, with a reported bid from an unnamed third-tier side rejected in June.

Pete O’Rourke later revealed last week that an anonymous side had struck a deal with Rovers over Conteh, who signed on at the Memorial Stadium for a reported £300,000 fee from Grimsby Town.

His place in the Rovers side was cast into doubt following the January recruitment of both Tommy Leigh and Richie Smallwood on loan from Bradford City, both of whom have gone on to return to the club ahead of this season.

Conteh spent the second half of the previous campaign on loan with Lincoln City, where he played just one single match against Port Vale on the final day of the season as the Imps celebrated their League One title win.

Bromley Clinch Key Deal

Kamil Conteh was a man on the fringes at Bristol Rovers, so securing a move away was a key move for all parties involved.

Despite his immense promise at Grimsby Town and his opening matches at the Memorial Stadium, the midfielder never really caught on, and with the change of manager to Evans, was deemed surplus to requirements.

Bromley are set to gain a highly-talented prospect as part of their hopes of building a solid foundation in League One, and under Andy Woodman, should become a central figure at Hayes Lane going forward.

Conteh should slot in as a direct replacement for Jude Arthurs, who was allowed to join Crawley Town, playing alongside Ashley Charles as support to the more offensively minded Ben Thompson.
