Lawson for Leatherhead

Leatherhead had a debutant amongst their ranks as they defeated Sutton Common Rovers in the Velocity Cup- and Omarr Lawson made a scoring first start.

Omarr rejoins Hayden Bird, the manager he played for at Kingstonian during the 2019-20 and 20-21 campaigns. Since leaving the K's he has turned out for Whitehawk, and he started this season at Sevenoaks Town, making five appearances. He then moved on to Ashford United, where he played eleven times, scoring four goals.

Prior to his time with the K's he played for Lewes. He made forty nine appearances for the Rooks in 2018-19, and started thirteen times as they won promotion the season before, after moving over from VCD Athletic.

He started as a Dulwich Hamlet youth, and had trials at Portsmouth, Watford and Cardiff City before eventually signing for Bognor Regis Town. He then spent two seasons at Canvey Island, and also turned out for Crawley Down Gatwick during their Isthmian days.
