Miley regrets not having Jersey Bulls chance

Cavaghn Miley has played more than 250 games since leaving Jersey in 2017 for the National League

Former Jersey player Cav Miley says he wishes he had had the chance to play for Jersey Bulls when he lived on the island.

The 29-year-old Southend United midfielder left Jersey in 2017 to join National League aside Eastleigh, two years before Bulls were formed.

The club was the first set up in Jersey to play in the English league system and is currently third in Combined Counties Premier South.

Miley was part of the St Paul's side that dominated Channel Island club football a decade ago and played for Jersey's representative side in the annual Muratti Vase match with Guernsey, as well as being part of the squad at the 2015 Island Games.

"The Jersey Bulls weren't a thing when I was there," said Miley, who moved to Southend United in the summer of 2022 after playing more than 175 games for the Spitfires.

"It's brilliant - playing local football over there all you ever really wanted was to have the opportunity to go over to the UK and be playing in more competitive games.

"I'm over the moon they get to do that and my little brother has played quite a few games now for the Bulls and he's in and out of it, so it's brilliant," he told BBC Radio Essex.
