As soon as the summer heat in Mallorca returns, there can only be one thing for it: LOVE ISLAND is back. This famous dating show is celebrating a decade of drama, romance, and moments that will never be forgotten as it starts its 12th season. It’s more than just a show—with over 2 billion streams around the world, it’s a cultural phenomenon. Maya Jama is the queen of the villa, so she will be hosting the show again. Fans can expect shocking turns, shocking arrivals—and sad goodbyes as a new group of singles try to find love in the Mediterranean sun.
ITV is revealing the 2025 Islanders one by one as people get more excited about the premiere. Dejon Noel-Williams is the most recent name to get a lot of attention.
WHO IS DEJON NOEL-WILLIAMS?
Dejon Noel-Williams, who is 26 years old, brings a unique mix of athleticism and charm to the villa. Dejon is from London and works as a personal trainer. But his journey didn’t begin in the gym, it began on the football field. Dejon has had a colorful career as a semi-professional football player. He played for clubs all over England and even played for Grenada at the international level in 2021.
Dejon was born on September 22, 1998, and football has been a big part of his life, both on and off the field. His father is none other than Gifton Noel-Williams, a former professional player and now football manager. That background means Dejon has grown up with unique experiences—like casually meeting David Beckham at games when he was still a boy.
“My dad being an ex-professional footballer, I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger, it was weird because he was just my dad, but we’d go to a game and fans were asking for photos,” Dejon shared.
But now, Dejon is ready for a new kind of spotlight—one with firepit chats, recoupling ceremonies, and late-night villa drama.
HIS FOOTBALL JOURNEY
Dejon’s football resume spans numerous clubs and leagues. He was part of the youth setups at Watford and Oxford United before going on loan spells with Aylesbury United, North Leigh, Chesham United, Slough Town, Gloucester City, and Hayes & Yeading.
His professional career saw him take contracts with Wealdstone, Billericay Town, and even a stint in Spain with Guadalajara. He returned to English football with Hemel Hempstead Town, Gloucester City, Braintree Town, and Potters Bar Town, before signing with Cheshunt in 2023. As of June 2024, he’s playing for Bedford Town in the Southern Premier Division Central.
Though football was his first love, Dejon seems ready to explore romance in a whole new arena.
Hailing from London, Dejon is set to bring a combination of swagger and sincerity to the Love Island villa. His Instagram (@dejonnoelwilliams), already boasting over 12,000 followers, gives a glimpse into his lifestyle—fitness-focused, stylish, and full of positive energy. With a verified blue checkmark beside his name, he’s no stranger to social media attention.

But what is Dejon really looking for on Love Island?
While he naturally admires someone who takes care of their health, physical appearance isn’t everything. “I’m looking for someone who is beautiful on the inside and out,” he says. Emotional connection, kindness, and good energy matter just as much to him as a toned physique.
With his outgoing personality, striking looks, and disciplined mindset, he’s sure to make a splash the moment he enters the villa.
Love Island has seen many athletes trade boots for beachwear, and Dejon is following in their footsteps with high hopes. Will his charm and experience help him win hearts in the villa? That remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—Dejon Noel-Williams is ready for his shot at love.
Dejon brings both charm and depth to Love Island 2025. With a unique blend of discipline from his sporting career and the charisma needed to survive villa life, he could be one to watch as the season unfolds. Will he find lasting love, become a fan favorite, or be at the center of the season’s most dramatic moments? Only time will tell—but one thing’s for sure: Dejon Noel-Williams isn’t just here to play games.
