Leon Constantine (born February 24, 1978) is an English professional footballer. He currently plays as a striker for Port Vale.
Constantine was born in Hackney, London and played for Edgware Town before joining Millwall in September 2000. He made his debut for Millwall on September 30, 2000, coming on as a late substitute for Paul Ifill in a 4-1 win away to Peterborough United.
He had loan spells with Leyton Orient and Partick Thistle, before moving to Brentford on a free transfer in August 2002. He struggled to establish himself at Griffin Park and in August 2003 joined Southend United, initially on non-contract terms.
Despite scoring at a rate of one every other game for Southend, he turned down the offer of a new contract and joined Peterborough United in May 2004.[1] In October 2004, he joined Torquay United on loan[2] and in December 2004 moved to Torquay for a club record fee of £75,000.[3]
His form was disappointing for Torquay, scoring just seven times in 38 appearances. He moved to Port Vale in November 2005,[4] initially on loan, where has become a regular goalscorer. In the 2006/07 season he broke a record, being the only Port Vale player to score more than 17 goals before Christmas. This happened when he scored twice against Brighton & Hove Albion on December 23, 2006.[5]
He was set to move to Barnsley in the January 2007 transfer window, Vale agreeing a fee of £200,000 plus Marc Richards. However, the deal fell through when neither player could agree terms.[6]
