Leabon is the Stutes' fourth summer signing

Histon have completed the signing of ex-Boston United striker Kieran Leabon.

The former Ipswich Town apprentice, 20, has signed a one-year deal after impressing on trial over pre-season.

Leabon told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "The last few months have been a bit rocky, and it's a relief. I am now looking to stake my claim at Histon.

"They have done really well over the past couple of years and their ambitions as a club tie in with mine, to play at the highest level possible."

Leabon is the Stutes' fourth summer signing as they aim to assemble a squad capable of another promotion push.

"It's such a friendly atmosphere from the lads to the management and it feels really quite homely," he added.

The striker will help fill the void vacated by the departure of last season's top scorer Jack Midson to Oxford United.

"There's been talk of me also filling in on the right wing, but anywhere I play, attacking-wise, I'd expect to score goals," Leabon said.
