Wigan Athletic academy graduate Jarma Mohamed signs for Jersey Bulls

Wigan Athletic academy graduate Jarma Mohamed has joined Jersey Bulls, moving to the island to work and play in the Isthmian League South Central. The 19-year-old midfielder, who spent time in the academies of Manchester City, Liverpool, and Wigan Athletic, is looking to reset his career after experiencing ups and downs in both professional and non-league football.

What does this mean for Jarma Mohamed?

Mohamed’s move to Jersey Bulls comes at a crucial time in his career. After bouncing between clubs, he sees this as an opportunity to refocus and enjoy football again. Jersey Bulls manager Elliot Powell believes Mohamed’s experience and energy will be vital for the team as they prepare for another challenging season.

How will Mohamed fit into Jersey Bulls’ midfield?

Powell describes Mohamed as a combative and powerful midfielder who will bring aggression and energy to the team. With the departures of key players like Luke Campbell and Adam Trotter, Mohamed is expected to fill a significant void in the midfield, helping Jersey Bulls maintain their competitive edge in the eighth tier of English football.

What’s next for Wigan Athletic?

While Mohamed moves on, Wigan Athletic finished the 2025 season in 16th place in League One, with 56 points from 46 games. The team scored 49 goals and conceded 58, ending the season with a goal difference of -9. As the new season approaches, Wigan Athletic will be looking to build on their recent form, which saw them finish with a record of LLDWW.
