Kevin Lokko
Kevin Adom Lokko (born 3 November 1995) is an English footballer who plays as a centre-back for Isthmian League Premier Division club Folkestone Invicta.
He began his career in the academy at Norwich City, featuring in the FA Youth Cup-winning team during the 2012–13 season. He was released in May 2014 and joined Colchester United four months later, although injury prevented him from making any first-team appearances. Lokko gained his first experience of regular senior football with National League club Welling United during the 2015–16 season and subsequently spent the following season with fellow National League club Maidstone United.
In August 2017, Lokko joined League Two club Stevenage, spending time on loan at Dagenham & Redbridge and Dover Athletic. The latter move was made permanent in June 2018, where he served as club captain during the 2019–20 season. He briefly returned to the Football League with Harrogate Town in August 2020, before having season-long spells with Aldershot Town and Farnborough. He joined Maidenhead United of the National League in May 2023, scoring eight goals in 59 appearances across two seasons before signing for Folkestone Invicta in May 2025.
Born in Poplar, London, Lokko grew up in Romford in Essex. His father is from Ghana, and his mother is from Ukraine. Owing to his mother's Ukrainian heritage, Lokko grew up speaking Russian. He attended Easton College in Norwich, where he studied sports performance and business studies.
Lokko joined Norwich City's academy at the age of 15, signing a two-year deal as an academy scholar in the summer of 2012. He spent two years playing regularly for Norwich's under-18 team and was part of the FA Youth Cup-winning squad during the 2012–13 season. Lokko was released by the club upon the expiry of his scholarship contract in May 2014. He went on trial at Colchester United in July 2014, playing in several under-21 matches as well as in the first team's final pre-season friendly ahead of the 2014–15 season. The trial proved successful, and Lokko signed a one-year deal on 19 August 2014, with the club stating he would join up with the under-21 squad to further his development. Although he began training with the first team and was an unused substitute in two first-team matches in the opening months of the season, Lokko sustained a hip injury that kept him out of action for five months, and he did not make any appearances during the season. He was released when his contract expired in May 2015.
Ahead of the 2015–16 season, on 20 July 2015, Lokko signed a one-year contract with National League club Welling United. The move came after he had featured in the club's opening two pre-season fixtures and was subsequently offered a contract following a successful trial. He made his debut for Welling in the opening game of the season on 8 August 2015, playing the full match in a 1–0 victory against Guiseley at Park View Road. Lokko scored his first competitive goal in Welling's 2–1 home win over Woking on 28 March 2016, his first-half header proving decisive in ending Welling's 23-game winless run. He was a regular in central defence throughout the season, making 42 appearances in all competitions and scoring once, in what proved to be his breakthrough season of regular first-team football. Lokko left the club upon the expiry of his contract in May 2016.
Lokko subsequently signed for National League club Maidstone United on a free transfer on 3 June 2016. He had rejected several offers from other National League teams prior to joining Maidstone, stating he had "done his research" and was impressed by the club's three promotions in four years under manager Jay Saunders. Lokko made his Maidstone debut in a 1–1 home draw with York City on the opening day of the 2016–17 season. He scored his first goal for the club later that month, an injury-time winning goal in a 1–0 away victory at Boreham Wood on 29 August 2016. Lokko scored twice in Maidstone's 4–2 win against Chester at the Gallagher Stadium on 18 February 2017. He played regularly during his one season at Maidstone, making 46 appearances and scoring four goals in all competitions.
Four days before the start of the 2017–18 season, on 2 August 2017, Lokko signed for League Two club Stevenage for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract. The transfer occurred when Stevenage triggered a buyout clause in his contract, with several other clubs also showing interest in the defender. Just two days after signing, Lokko was loaned to Dagenham & Redbridge of the National League on a season-long loan agreement to continue gaining first-team experience. He made his Dagenham debut in the club's 2–1 home victory against Barrow on 5 August 2017, earning Man of the Match honours for his performance. Lokko then scored in consecutive games in home fixtures against Ebbsfleet United and Bromley at the end of August. He was a regular in the centre of defence during his time at Dagenham, making 28 appearances and scoring twice in all competitions.
