Player Profile:

A product of Dartford’s academy, attacker Louie played a big part in the success of the Darts’ Under-19 side. He also featured in the first-team squad - he came off from the bench as the Darts defeated Folkestone Invicta 6-2 at Chatham Town to win the Kent Senior Cup on 17.5.22.

Louie went on loan to Holmesdale of the SCEFL in 2022-23 and, early in 2023-24, spent time at league rivals Lordswood.

He first joined Margate in March 2024 when he signed on dual registration from Dartford. His Margate debut was as a second half sub for Steve Cawley in a 1-1 Isthmian League draw at home to Cray Wanderers on 1.4.24.

Louie returned to Hartsdown in 2024-25 and made his 'second debut' as a sub in a 5-0 FA Trophy win at Hanworth Villa on 7.9.24. In Margate’s next match – an Isthmian League game at home to Deal on 10.9.24 - he came on in the 76th minute and scored an injury time winner in a 2-1 victory.

Louie made 41 appearances during the season, 28 of them as a sub. He started an Isthmian League Cup tie at Ashford United on 19.11.24 when he scored four times in a 6-0 win. He also scored in a 2-1 win at Littlehampton Town on 14.12.24 and in a 2-0 win at East Grinstead Town on 28.12.24. Louie finished the season with 11 goals.
