About Leon

Midfielder who joined the Rebels in July 2023 following an earlier loan spell from Oxford United which had been abruptly ended by injury.

Leon began his footballing career in youth football with Luton Town and Aston Villa before signing a two year scholarship with Oxford United in 2018. A number of loan spells were undertaken with time at Biggleswade Town, Havant & Waterlooville and Gloucester City.

Following his release from Oxford at the end of the 2021/22 season, Parillon joined Southern League side Hitchin before making the return to Arbour Park in the summer of 2023, under the management of Scott Davies.

He went on to become a fixture in our midfield, making 77 appearances and chipping in with eight goals. There were some memorable strikes in that number, including the winning goal against Torquay United at Plainmoor a year ago, stunning long-range efforts against St Albans City and Worthing, and a crucial late equaliser against Salisbury last December.

Leon left the club in January 2025 and signed for National League side Southend United for an undisclosed fee.
