**Last statistical update: 20:55, 15 August 2023 (UTC)**

**Kieran Higgs** is a footballer who played for **Hashtag United** (men).

Higgs played "for quite a long time" in a local club, which was managed by his father - Hungate Rovers.

Norwich City (youth)
After interest from multiple clubs, who the player rejected "for a couple of years", Higgs would eventually join Norwich City's academy - being assigned to their under-14s. He would make his debut in a match with Tottenham Hotspur. During his time with *The Canaries*, Higgs suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury that would keep him out of action for 16 months up until early 2016. He would leave in after cutting short a loan with Solihull Moors towards the end of 2017. Whilst with Norwich, Higgs had signed a 1-year pro contract.

Solihull Moors (loan)
On 26 October 2017, National League side Solihull Moors announced the loan signing of Higgs. He made his bow 2 days later in a 4–0 defeat on home soil to AFC Fylde, having come off the bench to replace Paul Green with 16 minutes left. He wouldn't appear again for *The Moors* and would returned to his parent club soon after arriving due to a change in manager, despite penning terms to stay until January 2018.

Lowestoft Town
8 August 2018 saw Lowestoft Town unveil the arrival of Higgs. He would score 6 goals in 28 appearances for the Southern League - Premier Division Central team, though would suffer a 2nd anterior cruciate ligament injury - this time on his other knee - during an away League Cup fixture with Royston Town in February 2019. That injury kept him out for "over a year".

Almuñecar City
In July 2020, Higgs signed with Spanish club Almuñecar City.

Lowestoft Town (return)
On 9 June 2021, Higgs completed a return to Lowestoft Town of the Southern League - Premier Division Central. He would appear 37 times, whilst scoring 3 goals, across a campaign that would conclude with relegation to the Isthmian League - North Division. On 21 May 2022, Higgs publicised his exit from *The Trawler Boys*.

St Ives Town
In November 2022, Higgs headed to Southern League - Premier Division Central side St Ives Town. His debut arrived in a 5 November home encounter with Nuneaton Borough. *The Saints* would go on to end the season in 16th, as the midfielder notched 1 goal in 12 fixtures.

### HTU

2023–24
On 3 July 2023, Higgs revealed that had been training with Jay Devereux's HTU ahead of a potential move to *The Tags*. A day later, he was involved in a pre-season friendly at Barking, as the midfielder subsequently appeared during the eventual 3–1 success at the Lawtech Stadium. After featuring across 9 exhibition encounters, it was publicised on 10 August that Higgs would not be officially joining the club - with manager Jay Devereux citing issues such as game time unlikiness, the player's recent injuries and geographical constraints in regards to where he lives, referring to the midfielder as "not quite the right thing for us at this time".

### Post-HTU

Leiston
Higgs, upon departing HTU, officially joined Leiston on 15 August 2023 - going on to debut in their Southern League - Premier Division Central match with Berkhamsted later that day.
