Michael Cheek (born 23 August 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League Two side Bromley.

Career

Early career

Cheek began his career with Heybridge Swifts in 2013. He signed for National League South side Chelmsford City in January 2014. Cheek scored 27 times in 59 league appearances for Chelmsford City.

Braintree Town

On 23 May 2015, it was announced Cheek has signed for National League side Braintree Town. Upon signing, Braintree boss Danny Cowley said "Michael Cheek was the best all-round forward in the Conference South last year". After scoring 15 league goals in his debut season for the club, Cheek signed a new one-year deal with Braintree in June 2016.

Dagenham & Redbridge

Following Braintree’s relegation, Cheek opted to the leave the club. In June 2017, he signed for National League club Dagenham & Redbridge on a two-year deal. He scored on his debut for Dagenham, in a 2–1 win against Barrow on 5 August 2017.

Ebbsfleet United

In August 2018, Cheek signed for fellow National League side Ebbsfleet United for an undisclosed fee. Due to off-field financial issues at the club, Cheek spent only one season with Ebbsfleet. He described the situation as "difficult" and said it caused him stress due to the players failing to be paid on time regularly. Upon his departure, Cheek said to the local press "This season has definitely taught me a lot, on and off the field. I’ve met some great players and I’ve learned that, as a team, we can do more even if off-field issues are a problem. It’s the best group of players I’ve played with in all honesty, characters and talent-wise. It’s just a shame the way it’s ended."

Bromley

On 10 May 2019, Cheek signed for Bromley. Cheek scored on his home debut for Bromley against his former club Ebbsfleet in a 3–1 win on 6 August 2019. He scored 13 times in 37 league appearances in his first season with Bromley.

In January 2021, he signed a new deal with the club.

On 22 May 2022, Cheek scored the only goal in the 2022 FA Trophy final against Wrexham at Wembley Stadium.

In May 2024, he scored twice at Wembley in the 2024 National League play-off final. Bromley drew the game 2–2 and won 4–3 on penalties against Solihull Moors. Cheek also scored his penalty in the shootout. The win meant that Bromley had secured promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club’s history.

On 10 August 2024, Cheek scored Bromley's first ever goal in the Football League in a 2–0 win away to Harrogate Town.
