Former Leeds United, Sheffield United and Bradford City forward released to end 75-goal spell

A graduate of the Leeds academy, Poleon went on to score four goals in 37 appearances for the Whites at first-team level.

During his time at Elland Road, he was loaned to Sheffield United and made seven appearances for the Blades.

He last plied his trade in Yorkshire in the 2017/18 season, when he was on the books of Bradford. Poleon has spent the last five years in the non-league pyramid, plying his trade with Ebbsfleet for the last four.

The frontman has struck 75 goals across 157 outings for the club, although was unable to prevent the Fleet suffering relegation to the sixth tier at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

He will leave the club upon the expiry of his contract this summer, having experienced both promotion from and relegation to the National League South during his time at Stonebridge Road.

Fleet boss Josh Wright said: “I want to personally thank those who have been a servant in a Fleet shirt whether it’s been for a season, or five.

“Days like today are one of the toughest during a campaign and decisions like this are not taken lightly. I wish all of those departing players the very best in the future.

“As tough as this season has been, we can’t forget how successful we were a few seasons ago with some of those who have departed today.

“A special mention to Luke O’Neill, Rakish Bingham, Dominic Poleon and Greg Cundle who played a big part with me in that title-winning season. Days like today are the toughest part of being a manager.”
