Seaden, Monville and Leahy new for the Urchins

Hornchurch yesterday continued their squad strengthening with the arrival of Billericay Town goalkeeper Harry Seaden. Prior to that, they welcomed Concord Rangers forward Quentin Monville and former Cardiff City winger Jack Leahy.

Harry came through the ranks at Southend United, before eventually graduating to the first team squad. Whilst remaining a Shrimper he had loan spells at Cambridge City, where he played twice in our North Division- Colchester United, and Great Wakering Rovers, where he played five times during the 2018-19 campaign. He also had a spell at Dagenham and Redbridge before signing up with the Blues last summer, and made a rather exhausting fifty one appearances.

Quentin started last season at Potters Bar Town, and played thirty six times with six goals before transferring to National League South side Concord Rangers. He made forty five appearances for Bowers & Pitsea during the 21-22 campaign, scoring three times- including a memorable goal ten minutes from time which earned his side victory over National League Aldershot Town in the FA Cup. He went on to play in the narrow First Round defeat against Lincoln City, and also reached the Final of the Essex County Cup. That was his fourth Isthmian season with Bowers, and he also played a big part in their North Division title win in 2019.

Before joining Bowers, he played for Barking.

Jack Leahy previously played for Urchins boss Steve Morison at Cardiff City. He played youth and Under 18 football for Brighton & Hove Albion, a period which also included a spell on loan at Merstham, and he played three times- scoring on his debut- before the 20-21 campaign fell over. He signed for City in the summer of 2021, and has also had a loan period at Haverfordwest.
