Kamil Conteh - First Summer Signing!

Sierra Leone international midfielder Kamil Conteh has agreed to sign for Boro this summer.​

The 19-year-old will officially join from recently-relegated Premier League side Watford when his contract expires at the end of June, having previously trialled with us and featured for our Under-23s at Nottingham Forest last month.

Kamil made his senior debut with the Hornets back in January, coming on as a substitute in an Emirates FA Cup third round tie at Leicester City. A few days earlier he had been an unused sub in the Hertfordshire club's top flight clash with West Ham United.

He also made 11 appearances for National League South outfit Braintree Town during a loan spell earlier this year.

Born in London, but qualifying for Sierra Leone, Kamil won his first international cap in March when he played the full 90 minutes against Togo. The midfielder has been included in the Leone Stars' squad for Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Nigeria and Guinea-Bissau in June.

As a youngster, Kamil was with Crystal Palace's Academy and played for Lambeth Tigers before joining Watford as a scholar in 2018. He signed his first professional deal with the Hornets last summer.

It's an interesting one, probably one for the future, but you never know he could make an impact like Jones

Another one "for the future".

Sounds like we should get him out on loan then again if he’s already had that first team experience. Maybe down Scotland

We have had good success thus route, here's hoping again.
One down another twelve plus to go....
C'mon Boro, wish the season was starting again soon, down in the dumps after Preston, raring to go again.....we fans soon bounce back

He’ll be an attempt of an upgrade on the slightly older lads that have been released.

The next Boyd - Munce

Cough Cough

Hearing rumours he's already got a squad number at Queen of the South.

"Dodge and weave Reg, dodge and weave"

Ah Shiite, that's John Conteh!

Probably get a few pre season games then go out on loan to Scotland or a league 2/1 club.

Think a fair few young players will be heading out next season
