Braintree Town has reunited identical twins Kyrell and Kyreece Lisbie, both former Watford youth players, in a move that is expected to boost their National League chances. The 21-year-old twins, sons of former Charlton Athletic, Colchester United, and Leyton Orient forward Kevin Lisbie, have hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok, where they share their football journey. Kyrell joined Braintree last summer, while Kyreece was signed by Colchester in February and sent on loan to Braintree earlier this month. The twins made their debut together, with Kyreece scoring in a National League Cup win against Brighton & Hove Albion's academy side. Braintree won promotion to the top flight of non-league football by beating Worthing in a play-off final, but they were 20th in the National League table when former boss Angelo Harrop was sacked in November. New manager Steve Pitt has overseen a gradual improvement in their fortunes, with the team unbeaten in their last four league games. The Lisbie twins are excited to play together, with Kyrell saying, 'We know our strengths, we know our weaknesses, and we do feel that connection when we're on the pitch.' The twins' reunion is a significant boost to Braintree's chances of staying in the National League, with Kyrell adding, 'The team definitely has the ability to stay in the league, and the fans deserve us to be National League for another season.' Braintree's next game is against Boston United, where Kyreece could make his National League debut. The team's recent form has been impressive, with a good run of results under new manager Steve Pitt. The Lisbie twins' signing is a major coup for Braintree, and their unique twin telepathy on the pitch is expected to make a significant impact in the National League.
