AS Monaco is pleased to announce the signing of 18-year-old central defender Bradel Kiwa.
Born on February 5, 2006, in Meaux (Seine-et-Marne), Bradel Kiwa is a left-footed central defender standing at 1.91 meters tall. He began his football journey on the fields of the Paris region, initially playing for Cosma (Arcueil) and then for Montrouge FC 92. In 2021, at the age of 15, he joined RC Strasbourg to continue his development.
During his time with the youth teams at the Alsatian club, Bradel quickly established himself, playing around sixty matches from 2021 to 2023 with the U17, U19, and the reserve team in National 3.
In the 2023-2024 season, Bradel Kiwa played several matches with RC Strasbourg's Elite Group. He notably faced his future teammates from AS Monaco in April, in a match where the Rouge & Blanc emerged victorious with a score of 4-3.
Bradel expressed his excitement about joining AS Monaco, saying, “It is a great pride to sign with such a prestigious club as AS Monaco. I am very happy; it is the culmination of everything I have worked for since I was young. I look forward to meeting my new teammates and playing in my new colors.”
At 18, Bradel Kiwa arrives in the Principality after winning the U19 Terborg Tournament in the Netherlands with Racing in May. He will join the Elite Group, coached by Djimi Traoré, for pre-season training.
