Kevin Lokko

Club career Early career Lokko joined Norwich City's academy at the age of 15, signing a two-year deal as an academy scholar in the summer of 2012. He spent two years playing regularly for Norwich's under-18 team and was part of the FA Youth Cup-winning squad during the 2012–13 season. Lokko was released by the club upon the expiry of his scholarship contract in May 2014. He went on trial at Colchester United in July 2014, playing in several under-21 matches as well as in the first team's final pre-season friendly ahead of the 2014–15 season. The trial proved successful, and Lokko signed a one-year deal on 19 August 2014, with the club stating he would join up with the under-21 squad to further his development. Lokko sustained a hip injury that kept him out of action for five months, and he did not make any appearances during the season.

Welling United Ahead of the 2015–16 season, on 20 July 2015, Lokko signed a one-year contract with National League club Welling United. The move came after he had featured in the club's opening two pre-season fixtures and was subsequently offered a contract following a successful trial. He made his debut for Welling in the opening game of the season on 8 August 2015, playing the full match in a 1–0 victory against Guiseley at Park View Road. Lokko scored his first competitive goal in Welling's 2–1 home win over Woking on 28 March 2016, his first-half header proving decisive in ending Welling's 23-game winless run. He was a regular in central defence throughout the season, making 42 appearances in all competitions and scoring once, in what proved to be his breakthrough season of regular first-team football. He had rejected several offers from other National League teams prior to joining Maidstone, He scored his first goal for the club later that month, an injury-time winning goal in a 1–0 away victory at Boreham Wood on 29 August 2016. Lokko scored twice in Maidstone's 4–2 win against Chester at the Gallagher Stadium on 18 February 2017. He played regularly during his one season at Maidstone, making 46 appearances and scoring four goals in all competitions.

Stevenage Four days before the start of the 2017–18 season, on 2 August 2017, Lokko signed for League Two club Stevenage for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract. The transfer occurred when Stevenage triggered a buyout clause in his contract, with several other clubs also showing interest in the defender. Just two days after signing, Lokko was loaned to Dagenham & Redbridge of the National League on a season-long loan agreement to continue gaining first-team experience. He made his Dagenham debut in the club's 2–1 home victory against Barrow on 5 August 2017, earning Man of the Match honours for his performance. Lokko then scored in consecutive games in home fixtures against Ebbsfleet United and Bromley at the end of August. He was a regular in the centre of defence during his time at Dagenham, making 28 appearances and scoring twice in all competitions.

Lokko was recalled by Stevenage at the start of February 2018, with chairman Phil Wallace noting that several transfer deadline day deals had enabled the club to recall him and ensure he was "integrated in the squad on a daily basis ready for next season". He made his debut for the club as an 85th-minute substitute in the club's 3–1 away defeat at Forest Green Rovers on 13 February 2018. A week after making his Stevenage debut, Lokko was loaned to National League club Dover Athletic for the remainder of the 2017–18 season, with Stevenage retaining an option to recall him after 28 days if necessary. He made his debut for Dover in a 3–1 away defeat to AFC Fylde on 24 February 2018, coming on as a 77th-minute substitute. He went on to make 12 appearances during the loan agreement, scoring once,

Dover Athletic Lokko signed for Dover Athletic on a permanent basis on 27 June 2018, joining the club for an undisclosed fee. He made his second debut at Dover in the opening match of the 2018–19 season, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 defeat to Wrexham on 4 August 2018. Lokko was named National League Player of the Month for January 2019, having scored once and contributed to three clean sheets during the month. He made 42 appearances and scored six goals across the season, as Dover ended the campaign with a nine-match unbeaten run to finish 14th place in the National League. Lokko was appointed Dover's club captain on 27 June 2019. Harrogate's assistant manager, Paul Thirlwell, stated the club had been monitoring Lokko's availability after being impressed by his performances against Dover the previous season. He scored on his Harrogate debut in the club's 2–2 draw with Grimsby Town in the EFL Trophy on 8 September 2020. Lokko played a peripheral role during the 2020–21 season, making eight appearances and scoring two goals in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2021–22 season, Lokko signed a two-year contract with National League club Aldershot Town on 16 July 2021 and was appointed vice-captain. He made five appearances in the opening month of the season before sustaining an injury during the warm-up ahead of a 2–1 home defeat to Solihull Moors on 11 September 2021. After a six-month absence, he briefly returned to the first team in March 2022, making a total of eight appearances over the course of the season. Lokko left the club by mutual consent in May 2022. He stated he felt he had "a lot to prove" after an injury-hit season at Aldershot and a step down in division. Lokko was appointed joint-captain and made 53 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals. Farnborough finished the season in 12th, recording the fifth-best defensive record in the league with 17 clean sheets. Over two seasons with the club, he made 59 appearances and scored eight goals. Maidenhead were relegated to National League South on the final day of the 2024–25 season, after which Lokko announced he would be leaving upon the expiry of his contract in May 2025.

Folkestone Invicta Having received more lucrative offers at National League South level, Lokko signed for Isthmian League Premier Division club Folkestone Invicta on 12 May 2025. He stated that the move suited his personal circumstances as it allowed him to play football on a part-time basis, and also cited the opportunity to reunite with manager Jay Saunders, whom he had previously played under at Maidstone, as a factor in his decision. Lokko made 48 appearances and scored four goals. His winning goal in a 2–1 victory over St Albans City on 4 April 2026 secured Folkestone the Isthmian League Premier Division title.

International career Lokko was called up to the England C team, who represent England at non-League level, for two fixtures in May 2017. He made his England C debut on 28 May 2017, playing the full match in a 2–1 win over Panjab FA at Damson Park. He also played the entire game two days later in a 1–1 draw against Jersey FA.
