Footballer known as ‘The Surrey Zidane’ set to score on Love Island as race for the villa hots up
FOOTBALLER Harry Cooksley is set to bring his fancy footwork to the Love Island villa.
The midfielder, 30, is said to be known as The Surrey Zidane by fans of his side, Farnham Town.
The league team, in the South Central Division, welcomed him in summer 2023 after he’d spent time with AFC Wimbledon and Farnborough and he’s also known for his goal celebrations.
Now the lad will be hoping to score in Majorca as part of Maya Jama’s squad.
A source said: “Harry’s got the full package – a great, athletic bod and great chat.
“Love Island’s ladies love a footballer and The Surrey Zidane will be sure to impress as he plays away.
“Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell.”
Love Island and ITV has yet to announce any of the cast, but decisions will be made soon about which guys and girls make the opening line-up with the series just days from launch.
Harry will be able to enjoy garden workouts with hunky 6’5” Aaron Buckett, who was the first name linked to this series but is likely to join as a bombshell.
Stunning Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee, both revealed by The Sun, are in the mix for opening up the show.
And earlier today we added gym hunk Tommy Bradley to the pack.
They’ll be joining Love Island at a great time as the show’s 12 series have now been streamed 2 BILLION times on ITVX.
