Ben has played for Needham Market in the last couple of seasons, and netted 26 league goals for Norwich United in the curtailed 2019/2020 season due to the COVID-19. Ben has also played for Lowestoft Town, Wroxham, Norwich CBS and Diss Town in previous seasons.

Last season, Fowkes helped Needham reach the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy, netting at Yeovil Town in the 4th Round to help Needham win on penalties. He also played in the Suffolk Premier Cup final last campaign against the Blues as Needham won in a penalty shootout.

We would like to thank Braintree Town for their help with making the loan go through.

Welcome to Leiston Ben and everyone at the club hope you enjoy your time with us.
