David Leworthy (born 22 October 1962) is an English former footballer who made his name as an intelligent centre forward.

Career

A successful period at Farnborough Town was followed by a move to Dover Athletic, which saw the non-league transfer record broken when the Kent club paid £50,000. In January 1997 Leworthy moved to fellow Football Conference side Rushden & Diamonds, and his goals in the final 4 months of the season, including a debut goal against his former club Farnborough Town, helped ease the club away from the relegation zone and into a midtable finish.[1] However, his stay at Rushden didn't last long, and at the end of the season he moved to South-West London club Kingstonian for a club record fee of £18,000.[2][3]

Leworthy's career began to draw to a close with a period at Conference South club Havant & Waterlooville that included a spell as manager.[4]

Leworthy came out of retirement in 2006 for a brief second spell at Kingstonian. He was named manager of Banstead Athletic of the Combined Counties League Premier Division in December 2007. He left Banstead in October 2008[5] and became joint manager of Croydon alongside Peter Thomas in November. Peter Thomas left the club in January the following year.[6]
