The centre back then played for Tonbridge Angels. 

Emmanuel, also a a defender, played for Margate during 22-23, making twenty five appearances, and was spotted by National League side Kings Lynn Town, moving on to play regularly during 23-24 . He returned to Gate during 24-25, playing fourteen times, and followed that with thirty six appearances last season. 

He has also turned out for Hemel Hempstead Town and Bishop's Stortford.
