Kamil Conteh has completed a loan move from Bristol Rovers to Lincoln City, joining the League One club on a temporary deal that begins on 2026-02-02 and runs until 2026-06-30. The central midfielder leaves his parent club in League Two to step back up a division, with the transfer registered as a loan and no permanent fee disclosed in the data.
The Sierra Leone and England dual-national switches from the Memorial Stadium to Sincil Bank with a current market value listed at €375k, reflecting a slight decline from previous peaks at Bristol Rovers. According to the transfer record, Conteh remains under contract with Rovers and is due to return there at the end of the loan on 2026-06-30, meaning he is not set to become a free agent at the conclusion of this spell unless his contract situation changes beyond the information provided.
Conteh, 23, arrives at Lincoln City as a specialist central midfielder, described in the data as operating in a central midfield role and preferring his right foot. Born in London and standing 1.85m tall, he adds physical presence and technical quality in the middle of the pitch as Lincoln look to strengthen their squad in League One. The move also continues his career pattern of operating in the English pyramid rather than in domestic leagues in Sierra Leone, underlining that his club football remains based abroad relative to his Sierra Leonean nationality.
This latest transfer extends a steady progression through English clubs. Conteh previously moved from Watford’s youth system into Watford FC U18 and later Watford FC U21, then spent a loan spell at Braintree Town before transferring to Middlesbrough FC U21. From there he joined Gateshead FC on loan, returned to Middlesbrough, and then signed for Grimsby Town. A permanent move to Bristol Rovers followed on 2024-01-26, and now he takes the next step with a loan to Lincoln City in League One.
His market value history shows he was once valued as high as €500k during his time at Bristol Rovers, before a gradual adjustment down to the current €375k. That figure places him in the bracket of a promising but still-developing midfielder, making a loan an understandable route for both parent club and borrowing club to manage his next phase without committing to a permanent transfer fee.
The data provided does not include recent match-by-match statistics, appearances, goals, assists or detailed seasonal contribution, nor does it list specific fixtures, scorelines or performance metrics, so those elements cannot be reported. Likewise, there is no information on supporter or media reaction in either England or Sierra Leone, so any such response cannot be described without inventing details.
What is clear from the confirmed registration is that Conteh’s immediate future lies in League One, where he will attempt to translate his experience across various English clubs into consistent performances for Lincoln City. With a defined loan window from 2026-02-02 to 2026-06-30 and a return to Bristol Rovers already scheduled, this spell could prove decisive in shaping his next valuation, his standing within the Rovers squad on his return, and the trajectory of a career that has steadily climbed the English ladder.
