Dominic Poleon
Experienced, exciting forward who has played more than 200 matches in the EFL, he signed for the Fleet in February 2021. An ex-Chelsea and Southend United youth player, he was the leading scorer in Leeds United’s U18s before turning out 36 times for the Whites across three seasons in the Championship from 2012-15.
Away from Elland Road, he spent four years in League One with Bury and Sheffield United on loan and then permanently with Oldham Athletic, AFC Wimbledon and Bradford City. An undisclosed fee took him on to Crawley Town on a two-year deal in 2018/19 after which he spent time with Newport County and Dover Athletic.
A very pacy centre-forward who can also play wide, he has finished as top scorer in each of the last three seasons, racking up 36 goals in the title-winning season of 2022/23 when he was also voted Supporters’ Player of the Year. Last season he also earned international recognition, scoring a hat-trick in the second of two caps for Saint Lucia.
Poleon is our leading scorer in the 21st century and amongst the Top 10 goalscorers of all-time at the club as he chases the 100-goals target for the Fleet in 2024/25.
