Bradford (Park Avenue) are delighted to announce the signing of experienced midfielder Prince Ekpolo, who joins the club on a deal running through to the end of the 2025/26 season. The 31-year-old becomes the latest new addition to Craig Elliott’s squad ahead of the upcoming campaign in the Northern Premier League East Division.
Now aged 31, Ekpolo joins Avenue following an impressive spell with Guiseley, where he made 48 appearances last season. During the 2023/24 campaign, he featured 37 times and found the net five times, underlining his consistency and importance in midfield over the past two years.
Ekpolo brings a wealth of experience and a strong pedigree to the club, having built a solid career across both Spanish and English football. He began his footballing journey in Spain with Nàstic U19s, before moving to Pobla de Mafumet CF, the farm team of Gimnàstic de Tarragona. He later played for CE Morell and Reus B, continuing his development before making the switch to English non-league football.
Since arriving in England, Prince has gone on to represent Glossop North End, Guiseley, and AFC Telford United, gaining a reputation as a commanding and reliable presence in midfield.
Manager Craig Elliott was full of praise for the new arrival:
“Prince is such a superb signing for us. He brings much-needed physicality and endless energy in midfield. He has good experience of playing at big clubs at a much higher level and only last season played a big part in helping Guiseley narrowly lose out on promotion.
To attract a player of this pedigree to BPA shows a real intent and I have to thank our chief scout and everyone at the club for helping and working hard to make this happen.”
Everyone at the club is excited to welcome Prince to the Horsfall for the first time, and we look forward to seeing him in green and white this season.
Welcome to Avenue, Prince! 👑💚
