Full back, Drew Kear, like a number of other young players, joined Hinckley AFC having come through the Strachan Football Foundation.

After a covid-shortened first season in men’s football in 2020, he attracted the attention of a number of professional clubs. Trials at Football League sides followed while he continued his development at Hinckley.

The following season, he was a crucial feature of the side that reached the United Counties League Division One play-off final before a move to Rugby Town, who he helped win promotion from step five.

He ended his contract at Rugby late in January 2024 to return to Hinckley, featuring a handful of times in our title-winning season, before joining Leicester Nirvana.

A season at step four with Leicester Road followed, and after joining Barwell in the summer of 2025, he linked back up with Nirvana on dual registration before returning to Hinckley again, and he was appointed vice-captain in the summer of 2026.
