The right-back made eight appearances for the South East side from March 2019 under coach Alan Reynolds before moving to Dover Athletic Football Club at the end of 2019.
The footballer is expected to enter the villa in tonight's episode.

Aaron has described Love Island as a “great opportunity” – and it looks like he’s wanting to start a long-term relationship during his stay.
“I’m all about having a good time and hopefully I can leave with a ‘worldie’,” he said.
“I’m definitely looking for a long-lasting relationship. I’ve got all the player stuff out of my system, I’m ready to settle down now.”
In terms of celeb crushes, Aaron picked out Margot Robbie and Michelle Keegan, while he says that Chloe and Mary are the two islanders who are most his type in terms of personality.
