HEMEL HEMPSTEAD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF YOUNG AND EXCITING FORWARD, JESSE EFFA!
Jesse takes a step up to National League South football after an impressive season in the Isthmian League side Cheshunt FC. A product of Brentford Academy, Jesse found his way up and up the non-league scene, with time at Edgware & Kingsbury and Hadley FC, before signing to Cheshunt in June of 2025.
"JESSE IS A PLAYER THAT WAS PUT ON MY RADAR PART WAY THROUGH THE SEASON AND I'VE BEEN TRACKING HIM CLOSELY SINCE THEN. I HAVE BEEN MASSIVELY IMPRESSED WITH HOW JESSE HAS DONE LAST SEASON FOR CHESHUNT AND HE HAS SHOWN SOME LOVELY ATTRIBUTES I FEEL WE CAN WORK WITH."
"I DON'T THINK YOU'D FIND MANY PLAYER PROFILES LIKE JESSE. HE HAS BLISTERING PACE, HE'S A DIRECT RUNNER AND AN UNPREDICTABILITY THAT I REALLY LIKE. I FEEL THERE IS A LOT OF VALUE IN SIGNING PLAYERS WITH THAT 'WILL TO SUCEED' AND THAT HUNGER TO DO WELL." - JOE POPE | HEAD OF RECRUITMENT
We cannot wait to see Jesse in red! Welcome, Jesse! 🤝
Yes, Hemel! Love seeing a Brentford academy lad work his way up through the non-league ranks. Jesse had a solid season at Cheshunt, so hopefully he bags a few for the Tudors. Nothing beats a young, hungry forward trying to prove himself. Oh, and if you're ever curious what a UK secondary school actually gets up to behind them gates, https://heanorgate.org.uk/ is worth a snoop — student elections, Christmas concerts, all that good stuff. Go on, Jesse
