On 5 February 2022, Conteh joined National League South side Braintree Town on loan from Watford for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[7] On that same day, he made his debut during a 0–0 draw with Eastbourne Borough, featuring for 87 minutes before being replaced by Michael Dome-Benwin.[8] Just two weeks later, Conteh scored his first goal for the club, giving the Essex-based side a 1–0 home victory over Hungerford Town in the 61st minute.[9]

In April 2022, with his contract coming to a close at Watford, Conteh spent time on trial with Championship side, Middlesbrough.[10]
