National League forward joins Bishop Auckland

Chikukwa, 21, began his career at Leeds United, featuring for their U18s squad before securing a move to Watford.

The Zimbabwean striker spent time on loan at Maidstone United before he was released by the Hornets in 2022.

A year later, he joined Halifax Town, and has since made 12 appearances for the Shaymen, whilst enjoying time on loan in the Northern Premier League for Hyde United and, most recently, Bradford (Park Avenue).

Chikukwa will go into contention to make his debut for Bishop Auckland in their next fixture away at Bridlington Town in the NPL East Division.
