Tonbridge Angels were pleased to confirm the signing of Martell Taylor-Crossdale, a 25-year-old forward who last season was with then National League South Welling United for whom he made 15 appearances just prior to the season start. Martell had made a number of appearances for the Angels during the pre-season.

Martell spent his formative youth years at Chelsea, representing England at every year group from Under-16 through to Under-20, before departing Stamford Bridge for neighbours Fulham in 2019.

After leaving the Fulham Academy, he moved into non-league with Weymouth, Gloucester City and Hendon before enjoying a productive period with Metropolitan Police in 2023. This led to a move to Haverfordwest County for the 2023/24 Welsh Premier League season that also included the club’s involvement in the UEFA Conference League. He scored nine times in 29 appearances which attracted the attention of Welling.
