After developing through the ranks at Charlton Athletic, Kem joined Colchester United in a loan deal on the transfer deadline day.
He proved an inspirational signing for Us boss Steve Whitton and within a matter of weeks a permanent move was arranged.
Kem gave the Colchester midfield a new competitive edge with his sharp tackling and boundless energy and he scored his first senior goal to earn a vital point in the 2-2 draw with Peterborough United in April.
Kem is the younger brother of Leicester City's Muzzy Izzet.
His contract at Colchester United was extended to June 2012 in February 2010.
