After progressing through the Brentford Community Sports Trust programme, Chris Cohalan joined the Brentford Academy set-up ahead of the 2025/26 season.

A box-to-box central midfielder with a strong work ethic, Cohalan brings a level of determination and energy to the middle of the pitch, while contributing strongly at either end.

Cohalan made the move to Jersey Road alongside 11 other news scholars and featured strongly for Gary McDermott's side across his first season.

The midfielder scored three goals and picked up two assists, as well as captaining the side to the Under-17 Professional Development League Shield in a 4-0 win over Bolton Wanderers.
