McKenzie new in Blue

Billericay Town yesterday announced the signing of full back Montel McKenzie- and immediately thrust him into the side which drew at Chatham Town.

Montel, who perhaps may be more widely known from his time on Love Island than for his time on the pitch, spent time in the USA studying and playing ‘soccer’ for Ocean City Nor’easters, before playing for Woodford Town in the Essex Senior League during 22-23, when he made twenty eight appearances according to FA stats. He was then spotted by Hemel Hempstead Town, signed for the Tudors in February 2023, and played a full part in their National League South campaign last season- indeed expected to play a full part in this season too, before a parting of the ways a few weeks ago.
