Mackye Dre Townsend West (born 1 August 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Wingate & Finchley and the Montserrat national football team.
Townsend-West joined the Stevenage youth academy after academy scouts saw him playing in a trial game in 2019. [4] Academy manager Robbie O'Keefe stated that Townsend-West had impressed with his "raw pace" and technical ability in the trial match. [4]
