Maya Jama to be joined on Love Island by son of ex-Premier League striker as return to work scheduled after summer holiday with Man City boyfriend Ruben Dias

Two footballers are set to appear on the latest series of ITV2 reality show Love Island. The lineup has been confirmed and among the 12 contestants are Dejon Noel-Williams, a semi-professional and son of former Watford and Stoke striker Gifton, and Harry Cooksley, who turns out for Southern League Premier South side Farnham Town and has been dubbed 'The Surrey Zidane'.

The series is hosted by Jama, who recently flew back from a romantic vacation in Italy with Manchester City defender Ruben Dias. The show is filmed in Mallorca in a rural villa called Sa Vinyassa.

Gifton Noel-Williams made the majority of his career appearances in England's lower divisions but did play three times during Watford's ill-fated 1999-00 Premier League campaign. He later had spells with Stoke and Burnley before a journeyman-esque end to his career which included stints with Real Murcia, Elche, Millwall, Austin Aztek and Codicote.

The latest season of Love Island premieres on Monday 9 June, with plenty of dramatic moments expected on the show's tenth anniversary.
