Kaid Mohamed

Kaid Yusef Mohamed (قائد يوسف محمد; born 23 July 1984) is a Welsh convicted criminal and former footballer who played as a winger.

In October 2023, he was convicted to eleven-years-six-months in prison for conspiracy to supply class A drugs.

He spent the early part of his career in Welsh football with Ely Rangers, Cwmbrân Town, Llanelli, and Carmarthen Town.

After returning to The New Lawn, he scored a crucial goal in the 85th minute of a 1–0 win over Ebbsfleet United in the semi-final of the Conference League Cup to advance the club to the final.

Rovers lost the final on penalties to AFC Telford United.

He moved from Welsh Football League side Ely Rangers to Cwmbrân Town at the start of the 2003–04 season after catching the eye of manager Brian Coyne.

He established himself in the Welsh Premier League as a regular goalscorer and moved to Llanelli two years later, before returning to the Cwmbran Stadium.

He re-signed with Llanelli in December 2005, before moving on to Carmarthen Town in February 2006.

He was a full-time professional during his brief time at Stebonheath Park, but did not impress for the "Reds".

He came to prominence in the 2006–07 season, scoring two goals for Carmarthen in their Welsh Cup final victory.

He scored 15 goals for "Old Gold" in the 2006–07 season and helped the side win the Welsh Cup, scoring twice during a 3–2 win over Afan Lido in the final.

He left Carmarthen to go and play in the English Football League after he was handed a professional contract by Swindon Town in June 2007.

From Swindon he was loaned out to Torquay United, before dropping into the Conference Premier on a permanent basis with Forest Green Rovers.

After losing his first team place at Rovers, he was loaned out to Newport County, before dropping into the Conference South with Bath City.

Mohamed went on trial at League Two side Wrexham in June 2007, scoring against Blackburn Rovers in a pre-season friendly before adding a brace in a 4–1 win over Dungannon Swifts during a pre-season tour of Republic of Ireland.

Despite manager Brian Carey being keen to sign him, Wrexham lost out to League One club Swindon Town, who signed Mohamed to a one-year contract on 1 August after manager Paul Sturrock was impressed by his performance in a trial game.

He made his "Robins" debut 10 days later as a substitute in place of Christian Roberts during a 1–1 draw with Northampton Town at Sixfields.

He made his first start at the County Ground in the Football League Trophy on 9 October, in a 3–1 defeat to Cheltenham Town.

Two months later he made a series of appearances on the right-side of a five-man midfield, as caretaker-managers David Byrne and Ady Williams experimented with the first team.

He was released by Swindon manager Maurice Malpas at the end of the 2007–08 season.

After his release from Swindon he signed for Conference Premier side Forest Green Rovers.

On 26 January 2008, he joined Paul Buckle's Conference Premier side Torquay United on loan, making ten appearances, scoring his only goals at Plainmoor with a brace against Ebbsfleet United, before returning to Swindon in March.

Mohamed was released at the end of the 2008–09 season when he was not offered a new contract.

He helped Bath to win promotion at the end of the 2009–10 season, scoring the only goal of the play-off final.

Initially a regular in the first team, making 21 league appearances during the first half of the season, manager Jim Harvey told Mohamed to look for a new club in January 2009.

He joined Dean Holdsworth's Conference South side Newport County on a one-month loan deal at Newport Stadium.

In August 2009, Mohamed signed for Bath City on a non-contract basis, making his debut as an 80th-minute substitute replacing Darren Edwards in a 1–0 win over Maidenhead United at Twerton Park.

He scored three goals in the Conference South play-offs, including the only goal of the game in the play-off final win over Woking which promoted Bath to the Conference Premier.

He scored 13 goals in 34 league games in the 2010–11 season, including a run of scoring in five consecutive games.

He left Bath for AFC Wimbledon in March 2011, and played for the "Dons" in their Conference Premier play-off final victory.

He signed with Cheltenham Town in June 2011, and played in two unsuccessful League Two play-off campaigns before transferring to Port Vale in June 2013.

He was loaned back to Wimbledon in November 2013, and then loaned to Bristol Rovers in January 2014.

He joined Northampton Town on loan for the 2014–15 season.

After a brief spell with Port Talbot Town, he re-joined Bath City via Accrington Stanley in October 2015.

He signed with Eastleigh in January 2016, before being loaned out to Tamworth two months later.

Later in the year he moved on to Weston-super-Mare via Kettering Town.

He joined Wealdstone in August 2017, before joining Chippenham Town via Bath City in February 2018.

He returned to the Welsh leagues with Haverfordwest County in December 2018.

He moved on to Afan Lido via Goytre in 2019 and later played for Salisbury, before returning a third time to Carmarthen Town in July 2022.
