New Defender Checks Into The Meadow

Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South club Chesham United have signed former Fulham defender Lesley Duru.

The 19-year-old left-back, who can also play a more advanced role, was released by the Cottagers in July.

He started out playing for Southern Counties East League side Croydon in their youth set-up, taking part in the FA Youth Cup as they progressed through to the third round in 2019, eventually losing to Wigan Athletic 8-1.

He then played for the sadly now defunct Whyteleafe in the Isthmian League South Central Division in 2019/20 season where he caught the eye on the left flank.

Following a successful trial spell that took place in August 2020, Fulham signed him two months later.

He made his senior debut in the EFL Trophy in November 2020 against Burton Albion in a 1-1 draw.

But he was released in the summer after failing to make an impression to earn him an extension on his contract.
