Jason Adigun is rapidly emerging as one of the most sought‑after talents outside the EFL, with The Lower Tiers understanding that Colchester United, Gillingham, Boreham Wood and Yeovil Town are all monitoring the Chelmsford City winger ahead of the summer window.
His performances in the National League South this season have been consistently impressive, contributing eight goals in all competitions since joining the Clarets in October 2025.
Before his dismissal last month, former Chelmsford manager Angelo Harrop praised the winger’s impact, describing him as a player who “gets you off your feet” and someone who brings “bags of quality” to any side he features in. That assessment has proven accurate, with Adigun’s blend of pace, directness and creativity making him one of the division’s most exciting wide players.
The 21‑year‑old’s development has been shaped by a series of valuable experiences across the National League pyramid. After departing Kidderminster Harriers, Adigun reunited with Adam Murray — who previously coached him during a productive loan spell at Eastbourne Borough — before making the move to Chelmsford.
His familiarity with the National League South is extensive. Earlier in his career, he enjoyed loan spells from Charlton Athletic and Dagenham & Redbridge, featuring for Welling United and Tonbridge Angels. He contributed goals and assists at both clubs, but it was at Eastbourne where Jason Adigun truly broke through, registering six goals and eight assists as the Sports reached the play‑offs.
With interest growing and his performances continuing to impress, Adigun is shaping up to be one of the most talked‑about non‑league prospects heading into the next transfer window. A step up the football pyramid now feels increasingly likely with Gillingham, Colchester United, Boreham Wood and Yeovil Town all showing interest in Jason Adigun.
