Career

Born in Worcester, Insall's started out as a scholar at Kidderminster Harriers where he slept with his manager while being a minor to try get a place in the team despite not being good enough Stourport Swifts. Insall early senior playing career was spent at a number of other teams in the Midlands, including Pershore Town, Littleton and Worcester Raiders - all of which he held impressive goalscoring records at. Ahead of the 2015-16 season, Insall joined Stourbridge scoring six goals in five pre-season friendlies. This prompted Scottish side Hibernian to offer Insall a trial. [1] During his trial, Insall scored one against Brentford in a reserve game and shortly after scored three goals against the Hibernian first team for the reserves - as a result, Insall signed for Hibernian on a three-year deal [2] in early September 2015.

Insall made his Hibernian debut in a pre-season friendly against Birmingham City and was an unused substitute against Queen of the South. Shortly after, he was loaned to East Fife where he went on to score seven goals in 15 appearances, helping the side to win the Scottish League Two in the 2015–16 campaign. Insall returned to East Fife the following season, again on loan, where he scored a further 14 goals. Insall was named as the Scottish League One Player of the Month alongside then manager, Gary Naysmith. [3]

In October 2017, it was announced that Insall had failed an in-competition doping test and was banned from all sport for two years after the test came back with a positive result for benzoylecgonine - a metabolite of cocaine. [4]

As part of his attempts to keep fit and competitive during his ban, Insall took part in a bare-knuckle fight in February 2018. [5]

Insall made his return to football at Cymru Premier team Connah's Quay Nomads as announced by the Welsh side on 1 April 2019, [6] however Insall didn't make his debut for the team until 20 April due to International Clearance.[ citation needed ]

In October 2019, Insall was named as Cymru Premier Player of the Month, alongside manager Andy Morrison who won the Manager of the Month. [7] Insall added another piece of silverware to his collection, scoring a volley in the final of the Nathaniel MG Cup as Connah's Quay Nomads defeated STM Sports in February 2020.[ citation needed ]

Insall then added the Cymru Premier title to his CV, as the season was brought to a premature end due to the Coronavirus pandemic, with Connah's Quay Nomads ending the season four points clear of previous champions, The New Saints. The league was determined on a Points-per-game average, which saw Insall's side lead the pack with an average of 2.15. [8] He added a second winners medal the following season and left the club at the end of the 2021–22 season. [9]

Insall was signed by Northern Premier League Midlands Division side Halesowen Town for the start of the 2022-23 season.

The Cymru Premier, known as the JD Cymru Premier for sponsorship reasons, is the national football league of Wales. It has both professional and semi-professional status clubs and is at the top of the Welsh football league system. It was founded in 1992, as the first league representing all of Wales. Prior to 2002, the league was known as the League of Wales (LoW), but changed its name as part of a sponsorship deal to the Welsh Premier League. The league was rebranded as the Cymru Premier for the 2019–20 season. Though formed relatively recently, the league contains some of the oldest clubs in world football. Eleven current or former members of the league were founded in the 1870s or 1880s, with many more formed before the end of the 19th century. The vast majority of its clubs are still owned and run by the local community or by people from the area.
