26. Forward – DOB 09/09/2003

Signed on a month’s loan from Football League side Barrow in August 2026.

The attacker, who can operate as a left winger or centre-forward, brings valuable experience across the National League North and the EFL.

Kouyaté spent over a decade developing through the academy ranks at Everton after joining at the age of eight, during which time he featured regularly for the Under-21s in the EFL Trophy and found the net for the first team in pre-season action. He moved to Barrow in the summer of 2024 on a three-year contract, going on to make 21 League Two appearances in his debut campaign.

The forward has also spent time out on loan in the National League North with Spennymoor Town and Warrington Town to gain regular first-team minutes.
