Billy has played just under 400 games and scored just under one hundred goals across fifteen seasons at the club.Billy moved to the Rovers from Billericay Town in 2008 and played primarily as a striker for the reserves for one season, finishing as the team’s top scorer and helping them finish as runners-up in the Essex and Herts combination league and won the Essex and Herts Border Combination Cup during his first year at the club. Billy consistently put in good performances for the reserve side which led to his promotion to the first team during his first season where he has proved to be an asset for the team.

He has achieved three hattricks, including a seven minute hat trick against Thurrock in a 5-1 win in 2015, all goals coming in the first half.
