Pair of Planters Join Leiston

Two move from Norwich United.

Southern League Premier Division Central club Leiston have bagged two new players from Thurlow Nunn League Premier Division neighbours Norwich United for 2020/21.

Striker Liam Jackson and midfielder Finlay Barnes have both made the switch from Plantation Park.

Twenty-three-year-old Jackson (pictured) scored over 100 goals at Norwich United in four years at the club, with two seasons spent at Step 4 level in the Isthmian League North.

In 2019/20 before lockdown, Jackson hit 33 goals and was the Planters top scorer.

He joined the Planters from North Walsham Town at the start of the 2016/17 season.

Barnes, 19, joined Premier League Norwich City as a youngster and spent ten years with the Canaries before moving to their close neighbours Norwich United last season.

In 2019/20, the midfielder netted 16 goals whilst assisting 26 goals in the Thurlow Nunn Premier.
