Dennis, who scored 47 times in a total of 156 appearances for Bromley between 2014 and 2018, started his career in the youth ranks of Watford, before making the move to Victoria Road and joining Dagenham & Redbridge.

 

It was there where he would sign his first professional contract, going on to make 9 appearances for the then-League Two outfit, scoring once.

 

During his time with the Daggers, Dennis spent time on loan with Bedfont Town, Welling United, Grays Athletic, Canvey Island and Hayes & Yeading United.

 

Dennis then arrived at Hayes Lane in February 2014 following his departure from Dagenham and made 14 appearances in the 2013/14 campaign, scoring 4 times.

 

The following season is one that will live long in the memory of Bromley supporters, with the Ravens sealing the National League South title and Dennis himself playing a huge part.

 

In his 38 appearances that season, he contributed 8 goals and played an important part in the Ravens’ title victory.

 

His first season in the National League was affected by injury, limiting the amount Dennis played during that year. He made 24 appearances, scoring 6 times.

 

Dennis remained with Bromley for the 2016/17 season, as the club began to establish themselves as a National League outfit, ending the season with 7 goals in 27 matches. However, it would be the following season – a special season for Bromley – that Dennis hit the headlines, having been converted from a winger to a striker by Neil Smith.

 

In a season where Bromley played an extraordinary amount of fixtures due to an FA Trophy run and a number of replays, Dennis returned a prolific 22 goals in a total of 53 appearances.

 

Perhaps the most memorable of these, was a brace at home to Gateshead in the FA Trophy Semi-Final first leg, where his stunning double helped Bromley not only to victory that day, but a 4-3 aggregate victory over the two legs and a place in the final at Wembley Stadium.

 

It was during this season that Dennis attracted the attention of a number of League One and Two sides, and eventually signed for Portsmouth following the expiry of his contract at Hayes Lane.

 

A year at Fratton Park followed, before Dennis moved on to Leyton Orient where he made 47 appearances, scoring 5 times, before Bromley manager Andy Woodman acted quickly to bring him in.

 

Woodman told http://www.bromleyfc.tv: “I’m really chuffed to get Louis in the building. He has the bit between his teeth which is great, and he has an affinity with the football club. But that was yesterday, and we’re here with Louis Dennis today. I think he has unfinished business not only here, but in his career where he’s been unfortunate really in the sense that he’s had a couple of good moves which haven’t worked out.

 

“My job is to make sure that Louis Dennis makes everyone realise what a mistake they’ve made not bringing him to their football club. I’m delighted to have him, he’s a great professional and character, and it’s exciting to have him in and around our club”.
