Christopher Ethan Regis (born 11 November 1996) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League South side Torquay United.

A former England under-17 international, he spent his youth career with Arsenal and Southampton, before he joined Colchester United in 2015. He left Colchester in January 2017 without making first-team appearance for the club, though he did have a loan spell at Maldon & Tiptree. He enjoyed brief stays at Sittingbourne and Farnborough, before he signed a six-month contract with Port Vale in November 2017. He returned to non-league football with Torquay United in July 2018.

Club career

Early career

Born in Camden, London,[1] Regis was on the books at Arsenal until his release in 2012.[4] He completed his two-year scholarship with Southampton in 2015, before being released.[5] He signed a development contract with Colchester United after a successful trial spell in August 2015.[6] He joined Isthmian League Division One North side Maldon & Tiptree on a month-long loan deal on 23 February 2016.[7] He made his debut that same day, and scored within just three minutes of a 2–2 draw with Dereham Town.[8] He went on to make a total of five appearances for Steve Ball's "Jammers".[9] Regis signed a one-year contract extension with Colchester in May 2016, but left the Colchester Community Stadium by mutual consent in January 2017 without making a first-team appearance.[10][11]

Regis joined Isthmian League Division One South side Sittingbourne in March 2017.[3] He started 2017–18 season with Farnborough, making his debut in the opening day 1–0 victory at St Neots Town on 14 August.[12] He played a total of five Southern League Premier Division matches and one FA Cup game for the "Yellows", before he departed Cherrywood Road in September.[13][14] He had a trial at Bolton Wanderers the following month.[15]

Port Vale

On 7 November 2017, Regis signed for League Two side Port Vale until the end of the 2017–18 season, having impressed on a trial basis.[16] He scored on his debut the same day in the club's EFL Trophy game, just four minutes into a 4–2 victory over Crewe Alexandra at Vale Park.[17] He had been scouted by the club's football advisor John Rudge, who had spotted him during his unsuccessful trial spell at Bolton Wanderers.[18] However manager Neil Aspin soon criticized the player's attitude, saying that Regis failed to warrant even a place on the bench "because his attitude and everything outside of the football has not been good enough".[19] Aspin allowed Regis to leave and find a new club in April 2018.[20]

Torquay United

On 31 July 2018, Regis joined newly-relegated National League South side Torquay United.[21]

International career

Regis was selected to play for the England under-17 team in a friendly tournament in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands in August 2012. He played four matches, and scored one goal against Finland.[22]

Style of play

Regis is a tough tackling box-to-box midfielder.[6]
