Olympique Saumur have confirmed the arrival of Cameroonian left-back Bradley Mbuta, announcing the deal through their official Facebook page.
The 25-year-old becomes the club’s seventh recruit of the summer transfer window.
Mbuta, who began his footballing journey at Belgian side ASV Geel, has built his career across several teams in Europe.
He previously featured for UR La Louvière, the reserve team of Paris Saint-Germain, and more recently at Caucriauville.
His varied experience across different leagues is seen as a valuable asset for the French outfit.
In securing his signature, Saumur aim to strengthen their options on the left flank, an area that has been a priority for reinforcement.
Known for his pace and defensive resilience, Mbuta is also capable of contributing in midfield, providing versatility that head coach Julien Sourice can draw upon during the upcoming campaign.
The signing underlines Saumur’s ambition to bolster their squad depth and increase competition within the team.
Club officials believe Mbuta’s addition will not only solidify their back line but also inject fresh energy into attacking transitions, a key element of their tactical setup.
Bradley is a player who brings dynamism and experience, a source close to the club said. “His arrival is part of a strategy to balance defensive security with offensive support from the flanks.
Supporters have welcomed the announcement, with many highlighting the growing depth within the squad following a busy summer of activity.
The club has already secured six other players during the transfer window, reflecting a determined effort to prepare for the challenges ahead.
Mbuta himself expressed delight at joining his new team, signalling his intent to make an immediate impact.
While his official debut date is yet to be confirmed, expectations are high that he will play a central role as Saumur target a strong start to the season.
With pre-season preparations entering their final stages, Saumur’s recruitment drive appears to be nearing completion.
The acquisition of Bradley Mbuta, however, stands out as a statement of intent — a signing designed not only to fill a positional gap but also to elevate the team’s overall performance on both defensive and offensive fronts.
