Millwall have signed England and Ghana right-back Jordi Osei-Tutu from Bolton on a free transfer, with the 27-year-old joining the Championship club on a contract running until 30 June 2027.
The move was completed on 21 August, bringing Osei-Tutu to The Den after one season with Bolton. He becomes part of Millwall’s defensive options following a career that has included spells in the Premier League, Championship, Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga.
Osei-Tutu made 82 League One appearances during his career, scoring three goals and providing four assists. He has also played 12 times in the Championship and made 20 Bundesliga appearances, as well as featuring in Germany’s second tier on 21 occasions.
Born in Slough, Osei-Tutu came through Reading’s youth system before joining Arsenal in 2015. He progressed through the north London club’s academy and moved into Arsenal’s under-23 set-up in 2017, later making several loan moves to gain senior experience.
His first senior loan spell took him to VfL Bochum in 2019. He returned to Arsenal the following year before spending the 2020-21 season with Cardiff City and the first half of the 2021-22 campaign at Nottingham Forest.
Osei-Tutu then joined Rotherham United on loan in January 2022 and helped the club win the Football League Trophy during the 2021-22 season. He returned to Arsenal before leaving the club permanently for Bochum in July 2022 on a free transfer.
The right-back moved to Greek side PAS Giannina on loan in January 2024, but returned to Bochum at the end of that campaign. He subsequently switched to Bolton in August 2024 and has now made another free move within the English game.
Osei-Tutu was also part of the Arsenal squad that finished as Europa League runners-up in 2018-19, although his senior career has largely been built through loan spells and moves across England and Germany.
The new Millwall player is listed at 1.76m and is naturally right-footed, adding a recognised right-back to the Championship side’s squad. Jordi Osei-Tutu has joined Millwall from Bolton on a free transfer and is contracted until June 2027.
