Farsley Celtic sign Dylan Youmbi after leaving Bradford City

Farsley Celtic have snapped up Dylan Youmbi following his departure from Bradford City, as announced by the club’s official website.

Bradford City made the decision to cut ties with the striker after the end of last season. He left with Finn Cousin-Dawson, Harry Chapman, Heath Richardson, Isaac Robinson, Liam Ridehalgh, Luke Hendrie, Matt Derbyshire, Noah Wadsworth and Sam Bentley.

Youmbi, 20, had a loan spell at Farsley Celtic last season and has now returned to the National League North outfit on a permanent basis. They are led by former Bantams forward Clayton Donaldson these days.

The non-league side have confirmed that he has signed for them ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 campaign. They finished 20th last term and managed to avoid relegation from the sixth tier.

Their latest addition will give them more competition and depth in attack and they will be keen to show what he can do after he leaves Valley Parade.

The Bradford City youngster finds a new club

Youmbi has been with Bradford City for his entire career to date and has risen through the ranks of the League Two club’s academy.

He was a regular for them at various youth levels but never made a competitive first-team appearance.

Instead, he gained experience away from the Yorkshire outfit at Stocksbridge, Scunthorpe United and Farsley Celtic to get some experience under his belt.

He played 15 games last term and now they have decided to bring him back as they look ahead to the new 2024/25 season.

Youmbi has left behind a Bradford City side who will be chasing promotion under former Salford City and MK Dons boss Graham Alexander.

They have swooped into the market to bring in Aden Baldwin, Callum Johnson, Antoni Sarcevic and Neill Byrne in recent times to bolster their ranks.

Meanwhile, the likes of Matty Platt and Ash Taylor have left to make way for new arrivals.

Alexander’s men narrowly missed out on the play-offs last term and will be hoping to break into the top seven next time at the very least.
