Dylan Youmbi (born 26 December 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays for Farsley Celtic, as a striker.

Career

[edit]

Youmbi began his career with Bradford City, and was one of nine players to turn professional in July 2022.[2] He spent time on loan at Brighouse Town,[3] and Stocksbridge Park Steels,[4][5][6] and when he returned to Bradford City in March 2023 he trained with the first-team.[7] He then moved on loan to Marske United.[8][9][10]

He signed a new one-year contract with Bradford City in June 2023.[11] Ahead of the 2023–24 season, Bradford City manager Mark Hughes said he hoped that Youmbi and fellow Academy graduates Harvey Rowe and Bobby Pointon would cope with the first-team environment and continue their development with the club.[12] A few days later, Youmbi said he was being helped by experienced players at the club.[13]

He moved on loan to Farsley Celtic in October 2023.[14] In November 2023, after 7 appearances in all competitions, the loan was extended until the end of the season.[15] After 16 appearances,[16] he was recalled in February 2024, and loaned to Scunthorpe United.[17] He only made one, 23-minute substitute appearance for Scunthorpe, saying "it didn't go well at Scunthorpe".[16]

He was released by Bradford City at the end of the 2023–24 season.[18][19] He said he was looking forward to re-starting his career with a new club.[16] He re-joined Farsley Celtic in July 2024.[20]
