Leon Constantine; scored a few as a Shrimper in his only season at Roots Hall
Former Shrimpers striker Leon Constantine has been on his travels again since being dropped by York, and after the odd trial has ended up at Conference North team Boston United.
The 33 year old has tried his luck at Basingstoke, Lewes, and Tooting and Mitcham this campaign, only lasting six weeks at the last one!
Having hung his hat in Peterborough it seems, he made his debut as a Pilgrimim on Boxing Day as a second half sub, as they celebrated with a victory over Eastwood.
Didn't leave as the most popular Shrimper, wage demands and all that, but we wish him well.
