Albon back at Bowers

Bowers and Pitsea brought back Luca Albon for another debut as they drew with Folkestone Invicta on Saturday.

Luca came through the Academy setup at Charlton Athletic, and first became an Isthmian with Bowers right at the- very premature- end of the 2020-21 campaign, making his debut against Hornchurch in the FA Trophy, scoring after fifteen minutes, and then seeing his campaign come to an immediate end as our football did the same. The 21-22 season saw him playing twenty times, his last Bowers appearance coming in defeat to Hornchurch on New Years Day 22. He was part of the Bowers side which made it all the way to the FA Cup First Round, when he entered the field at Lincoln City as a first half substitute. 

In January 22 he moved on to Cray Wanderers, and made seventeen appearances as they narrowly retained their Premier Division status, before joining Canvey Island at the start of the 22-23 campaign. He went on to play forty three times that season, scoring three goals- each one in a victory for his side. He spent a little time at Concord Rangers in the summer of 2023, before deciding he preferred life as a Gull rather than as a Beachboy, and quickly returned to the MovieStarr Stadium, where he played sixteen times and scored one goal last season before a move to Heybridge Swifts. He made twelve Swifts appearances this season, but has most recently been with Great Wakering Rovers.
