Brentwood Town Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of striker Freddie Sears ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The 36-year-old arrives at The Arena with an outstanding footballing CV, bringing a wealth of experience from the Premier League, the Football League and the non-league game.
Sears began his career with West Ham United, where he made his Premier League debut, before gaining further experience during loan spells with Crystal Palace, Coventry City, Scunthorpe United and Colchester United.
After impressing during his initial spell with Colchester, he made a permanent move to the U’s and went on to score 29 goals in 91 appearances before earning a move to Ipswich Town.
At Portman Road, Sears enjoyed a hugely successful period, making 203 appearances and scoring 32 goals across several seasons in the Championship.
He later returned to Colchester United, adding a further 16 goals in 76 appearances, before spells with Dagenham & Redbridge, Braintree Town, Chatham Town and Maldon & Tiptree.
Sears was part of the Braintree Town squad that won promotion to the National League in the 2023/24 season, and most recently enjoyed a prolific campaign with Maldon & Tiptree, scoring 29 goals in 44 appearances. He finished as the Isthmian League North Division’s top goalscorer and played a key role in the club’s title-winning campaign.
With Premier League and Football League experience, proven goalscoring pedigree and recent success at Step 4, Sears adds quality, leadership and a significant attacking threat to Keith Rowland’s squad.
Everyone at Brentwood Town FC welcomes Freddie to the club, and we look forward to seeing him in Sky Blue this season.
