An academy product, Brad moves to Yorkshire to join the National League outfit after another prolific season in Worthing colours.
Following Adam Hinshelwood’s return in October, the 21-year-old added to his two earlier league strikes in emphatic fashion to eventually claim the National League South Golden Boot accolade with 23 goals in 40 appearances.
Brought back to Woodside under Chris Agutter, Dolaghan was utilised in a strike pairing with Temi Babalola at the start of last season. The duo combined to dispatch the first goal of the 2025/26 campaign, with the now former Red coolly slotting home in a 1-1 draw with Bath at the Sussex Transport Community Stadium. That would be the first of many for what would turn out to be a momentous campaign for the Club and for Brad.
A flurry of goals throughout November resulted in the master marksman being named the National League South Player of the Month, with match-winning braces against Hemel Hempstead Town, Slough Town and Hornchurch. The pick of the performances during that period was a first senior league hat-trick in the 4-0 toppling of AFC Totton under the lights at Woodside.
Brad’s goals proved pivotal in the Reds’ rise to the summit of the table around Christmas, with crucial finishes in victories over Sussex rivals Eastbourne Borough on Boxing Day and then league leaders Dorking Wanderers in front of a record Woodside crowd on his 21st birthday.
Towards the run-in, Brad found the back of the net in key triumphs against Torquay United and Weston-super-Mare, while also rounding off a 7-2 rout against Dagenham & Redbridge in stoppage-time.
In all competitions during the 2025/26 season, the striker made 49 appearances – netting 29 goals – with the striker playing a vital part in our title-winning season.
This is the second farewell to One of Our Own, as he initially departed West Sussex in the summer of 2024 for the heavy heights of West Ham United, with a subsequent loan spell at Aldershot Town to aid his development with the Hammers.
Everyone connected with the Club wishes to express gratitude towards Brad for his hard work during his time at Woodside and wish him the best for the future.
