Football career

Millwall

Born in Leytonstone, east London, Kilbey was originally signed to Millwall where he made his first team debut against Swansea City in September 2007 at the age of 16 in the Football League Trophy in a defensive midfield role. [2]

Portsmouth and loans

In October 2007, Kilbey signed a contract with Premier League team Portsmouth moving for an undisclosed fee. [3] During his first season on the south coast he established himself in the academy side with a strong pairing with fellow midfielder Marlon Pack. The 2008–09 season saw Kilbey play more regularly for the reserve team. This saw Kilbey put in some classy performances[ citation needed ] including scoring a hat-trick against West Bromwich Albion on 6 April 2009. He joined League Two team Dagenham & Redbridge on a month's loan on 1 September. His debut for Dagenham came against MK Dons in a Football League Trophy match.

In June 2010 he signed a one-year contract extension with the club, keeping him at the club until at least June 2011. [4] He was part of the Portsmouth squad which toured North America and Canada in the Summer of 2010, scoring in the opening game 2–1 defeat at Club America. [5] He made his league debut as a substitute at Watford on New Year's Day 2011. [6] He scored his first goal for the club as a substitute against Brighton on 8 January 2011. [7]

On 15 May 2011 it was announced that Kilbey would not be offered a new deal at Portsmouth and would therefore be leaving the club.
