The 30-year-old was most recently playing in Australia for Peninsula Power, but has vast National League experience to his name, with over 200 appearances at this level.

 

He was a member of Lincoln City’s triumphant 2016/17 season which saw them win the National League and reach the FA Cup quarter-final.

 

He started his career in the Norwich City academy but was released in 2011 and made his move into senior football where he spent one season at then-Conference side Tamworth.

 

Braintree Town followed next, where he made 190 appearances across four seasons and was a key part of the Braintree side that lost to Grimsby in the 2015/16 playoffs under Danny Cowley.

 

The defender’s form also earned him two England C caps that year, having already won honours at England under-17 level whilst on Norwich’s books.

 

He then moved with Cowley to Lincoln in the summer of 2016 and played every game in the Imps` memorable FA Cup run in the same season, which included wins over Ipswich Town, Brighton & Hove Albion and then-Premier League side Burnley at Turf Moor before losing to eventual winners Arsenal in the quarter-final.

 

The defender was also a key part of the Imps side that won the 2017/18 EFL Trophy at Wembley Stadium the following year, playing 7 games, including the final on the hallowed turf.

 

After leaving Lincoln in 2019 following a serious knee injury, Habergham joined League Two side Grimsby Town in January 2021, and made 13 appearances before leaving in the summer.

 

After a brief spell in Australia in the National Premier League from February 2022, he returned home this summer and signed for Stones.
