Brighouse Town have completed the signing of defensive midfielder Ethan Bojang from Lincoln United on a free transfer, with his contract at the Yorkshire club running from 11/12/2025 to 30/06/2026.
The 23-year-old, who holds dual nationality with The Gambia and England, joins Brighouse Town after a short spell at Lincoln United, continuing a career spent entirely in English football to date. The move keeps him in the English system rather than returning to his country of heritage, and confirms Brighouse Town’s intention to add further mobility and defensive protection in midfield.
Bojang arrives without a listed market value and with the transfer fee recorded as a free transfer, underlining that this is a low‑risk piece of business for Brighouse Town. He is primarily a defensive midfielder, right‑footed, and stands at 1.65m, a profile that suggests a low centre of gravity and potential agility in tight spaces at the base of midfield.
The Gambia‑born, England‑based midfielder has built up extensive experience across the lower tiers of the English game. Before Lincoln United, he featured for Bradford (Park Avenue) after a move from Grantham Town earlier in the 24/25 season. His earlier career also included spells at Stocksbridge Park Steels, Marske United and Gainsborough Trinity, following his time in the youth and development structure at Peterborough United U21 and Doncaster Rovers U18, plus a loan stint at Spalding United that was later converted back when his loan ended.
This pathway has given Bojang a varied grounding in different tactical setups and competitive environments, though all of them have been in England and listed within “N/A” league designations rather than a clearly defined national league in the data. Even so, the transfer confirms his continued commitment to carving out a senior career in English football rather than seeking opportunities in The Gambia.
No detailed appearance or goal statistics are provided in the data for his most recent campaigns, and there is no match‑by‑match breakdown of performances, so it is not possible to specify his contributions in particular fixtures or to highlight individual games, opponents, scorelines or specific displays. Likewise, there is no information on how many appearances he made for Lincoln United before this move, nor on Brighouse Town’s current league position or tactical system.
There are also no figures on his current or previous market valuation, and no contract expiry date beyond the 2025/26 season is listed, leaving open the future possibility that Bojang could become a free agent again when his deal at Brighouse Town ends on 30/06/2026. That scenario would potentially allow him to reassess his options, whether remaining in England or exploring a move abroad for the first time.
While reaction from supporters and media in either The Gambia or England is not recorded in the available data, the confirmed transfer represents another step in a career that has already seen several moves across the English non‑league landscape. If Bojang can establish himself as a regular in Brighouse Town’s midfield, this spell could provide the platform he needs to strengthen his reputation and keep open the possibility of further progression when his contract expires.
