Biography

New in 2024, ‘Haighy’ moves across from Ebbsfleet United where he won National League South promotion in 2023, twice! Firstly, as a champion with his parent club, then when he joined eventual Play-Off winners Oxford City on an emergency loan for the final month of that term, helping them to move up a division too! That temporary transfer extended into ‘23-’24.

Started out as a young hopeful at Watford before embarking on a somewhat nomadic career that took in stops at Northwood, Braintree Town, Merstham, East Grinstead United, Maldon & Tiptree and Heybridge Swifts, picking up their Player of the Year award as they won the Isthmian North Play-Offs in 2018/19. That earned him a move up to Step 2 Concord Rangers and saw more honours come his way in the shape of 2021’s FA Trophy final; turning in a Man of the Match display as the Beachboys were edged out by then newly-promoted League Two side Harrogate Town.
