MITSports is pleased to acknowledge the progress of Riley Cooper, who has officially signed a first-team contract with Bridlington Town AFC for the remainder of the current season. The agreement also includes a club option to extend the contract for the 2026/27 campaign.

Cooper’s transition into senior semi-professional football has progressed seamlessly since entering the first-team environment. His consistent performances quickly established him within the squad, a progression highlighted by him receiving the club’s Player of the Month award in January.

Throughout his development, Cooper has demonstrated the necessary work ethic and technical application required to compete at this level. This contract serves as recognition of his sustained contribution to the team's performances from his initial introduction to the senior setup.

As part of the MITSports network, Bridlington Town AFC continues to provide a vital competitive platform within our player pathways. The collaboration aims to bridge the gap between youth development and senior semi-professional football, ensuring dedicated players receive the opportunities required to progress into first-team environments.

Everyone at MITSports congratulates Riley on his first professional contract and looks forward to tracking his continued development at Bridlington Town.
