Mike Thalassitis has future with Margate despite Love Island return
The footballer is welcome back at the club.
Former Cyprus youth striker Mike Thalassitis has been told he still has a future with Margate despite re-entering the Love Island villa.
Thalassitis played for the Bostik League side last season and their manager Steven Watt said he was “disappointed” when the 24-year-old joined the ITV2 show last month without telling him.
Thalassitis was dumped from the Love Island villa last month but has since been voted back into the show, meaning he is likely to miss a large part of Margate’s pre-season.
Given the nickname ‘Muggy Mike’ on the show, Thalassitis has played for a number of non-league clubs including Boreham Wood, Ebbsfleet, Hemel Hempstead and Welling United.
He made four appearances for Cyprus’ under-21s in 2013, scoring two goals.
The 25-year-old appeared two days after reaching the 400 metres final at the British Athletics World Championships Team Trials.
Campbell also competed for the British Athletics men’s 4x400m relay team at the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas earlier this year.
Love Island is a show which takes single participants to a villa in Majorca and they try to pair off to win £50,000.
