Club career

Born in Manchester, Greater Manchester, [1] Havern came through the club youth system at Stockport County where he was captain of the Under-18 side. [2] He had spells on loan at Northern Premier League Premier Division clubs Radcliffe Borough and at Ashton United [3] in 2007. He made his Stockport County debut against Brentford in May 2008 and scored the winning goal. [4] With Stockport citing financial trouble, Havern was one of several staff released in January 2009. [5] He left County having made only one appearance for the first team and was immediately taken on as trialist at Conference National outfit Mansfield Town, where he was soon offered a six-month contract. [6] After this spell, Havern returned to Stockport County on non-contract terms before signing another contract deal. On 31 August 2010 it was announced by Stockport that an agreement had been made regarding early settlements of player's contracts and as a result he had left the club. [7]

On 6 September 2010 it was announced he had been signed by Mossley, [8] but after just a month and only six appearances he moved to Tameside rivals Ashton United. In June 2011, he moved to Conference North side Hyde along with team-mate Ryan Crowther. [9]

In July 2012 he joined Altrincham. [10]

In July 2016 he moved to AFC Telford United. [11] where he became club captain. [12]

He then played for Bradford Park Avenue.

In June 2019 he rejoined Ashton United. [13] [14] The move to Ashton didn't work out, despite dropping down a division and he re-signed for Bradford Park Avenue for the 2020–21 season in the National League North. [15]

Havern retired in August 2024. [16]
