He has saved 9 penalties in his career and was instrumental in the shoot-out success against Corby Town at Sixfields in the Northants Senior Cup Final.
After leaving the Poppies, Paul joined Hereford, St Ives Town, Peterborough Sports, Coalville Town and Rushall.

Kettering Town FC are delighted to announce the signing of prolific goal scorer Leon Lobjoit marking a significant statement of intent ahead of the new campaign.
Fresh from a stellar season at Bedford Town, where his 26 goals fired The Eagles to promotion to the Vanarama National League North, Lobjoit now makes the move to Latimer Park, bolstering the Poppies’ attacking line with proven firepower. Among those 26 strikes was a clinical finish against Kettering in Bedford’s 3–1 win at The New Eyrie, a performance that underlined his pedigree.
At 28, Lobjoit is no stranger to the English non-league circuit. His career to date spans a host of clubs, including Hemel Hempstead, Leighton Town, Northampton Town, Corby Town (loan), Nuneaton Town (Loan), Banbury United (Loan), Oxford City and St Neots Town, but it was at Bedford where the striker truly came into his own — blending strength, pace and instinctive finishing to become a talismanic presence.
Simon Hollyhead KTFC’s Manager commented that “This is a tremendous signing and a clear message of the ambitions for the season ahead. Leon is very well respected in this league and I am really looking forward to working with him during the season.”
We would like to welcome Leon to Latimer Park, a major signing for the Poppies, and wish him every success at the club.
