About

Leon Hardman wears the number 18 shirt for Devizes Town, anchoring the midfield in his central midfield role. Having previously spent time with Swindon Town and Melksham, Leon brings quality to the engine room, with his highlights including playing against young talent Rio Ngumoha and watching his boyhood team, Manchester City, win the FA Cup at Wembley. Looking up to Kevin De Bruyne as his footballing idol and backing Lionel Messi in the GOAT debate, Leon’s core target for the season is simple: increase his goal contributions from midfield.

When he isn’t dictating play on the pitch, Leon is an avid gamer who would be grinding FIFA full-time if he weren’t playing football. Outside of matches, he likes to kick back on his PS5, order a Taco Bell or enjoy a steak washed down with a cold Fanta, and listen to Gunna or watch The Dark Knight. Beyond the game, Leon brings some unexpected talents to the table – not only was he crowned Prom King, but he also possesses a hidden knack for naming world capitals on command!

Inside The Dressing Room

Leon gives a double vote of confidence to Bakes, naming him both the funniest character and the most skilful player in the squad. When it comes to banter, Liam takes the brunt of Leon’s awards, being named both the worst-dressed teammate and the longest to get ready after a match. And in a refreshing display of self-awareness, when asked who he wouldn’t trust to cook him dinner, Leon admits the biggest culinary hazard in the team is actually himself!
