Player Profile:

A product of Margate's youth set-up, Troy then played for Deal Town's first-team in the SCEFL.

He joined Margate in summer 2022. Manager Andy Drury said: "Troy has so much pace that it is scary. He will be able to get down the wings and really impact the game for us."

Troy made a promising start in pre-season, scoring against Dover Athletic in a 2-0 friendly win at Hartsdown on 16.7.22.

However, he was troubled by an ankle injury and found first-team opportunities limited as a result.

Troy was loaned to Deal Town for a month from December 2022. He left Margate in February 2023 when his contract was cancelled by mutual agreement and joined Herne Bay.

Troy signed for SCEFL team Lydd Town for 2023-24, which included a spell on dual registration with Hythe Town. He was released at the end of the season and joined Sittingbourne of Isthmian South East for 2024-25. Troy joined Billericay Town in summer 2025 but returned to Sittingbourne on a month's loan in September. In November 2025, he signed for Welling United.
