Dylan Wesley Nkongape Kadji (born 1 September 2003) is an English footballer who last played as a midfielder for Aldershot Town, on loan from Bristol City of the EFL Championship.
Kadji came through the youth academy at Bristol City and signed a professional contract in November 2021. [1]
Kadji played 6 matches on loan for Bath City F.C. in the 2021–22 season, making his debut on 26 December 2021 against Chippenham Town. [2] Kadji started the move that led to the fourth goal in a 4–1 win for his new club. [3] His home debut for Bath at Twerton Park came a week later in a 2–0 win on 2 January 2022 again against Chippenham Town. [4]
Although he was still training with the Bristol City first team even whilst on loan with Bath, [5] Kadji particularly impressed manager Nigel Pearson and was singled out for praise after training with the first team squad in pre-season camp during the summer of 2022. [6]
Pearson was quick to downplay too much pressure being put on the young player's development as Kadji had suffered from injuries that meant he had to sit out sections of their summer tour of Austria. [7] On 24 August, 2022 Kadji opened the scoring 7 minutes into his Bristol City senior debut, against Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park in an EFL Cup second round match, which finished in a 3–1 victory for his side. [8]
On 31 January 2023, Kadji joined Swindon Town on a six-month loan deal. [9] He made his first league start for Swindon on 4 February 2023 against Newport County, a 2–1 defeat that also marked the first league match in charge of Swindon for new manager Jody Morris. [10]
On 4 August 2023, Kadji joined Forest Green Rovers on a season-long loan. [11]
On 4 March 2024, Kadji joined Aldershot Town on loan until the end of the season. [12]
He was released by Bristol City at the end of the 2023-24 season. [13]
Kadji joined Weston-super-mare. [14]
Bristol city manager Nigel Pearson said after his debut that Kadji had "really good attributes for the modern game. He's a good mover, he's got decent vision and ability." [15]
Born in England, Kadji is of Cameroonian descent. [16]
