Moses Swaibu
I think we all know what happened here.
After leaving Lincoln City, Swaibu had brief spells with Kettering Town and Bromley, where he played regularly before departing at the end of the 2012–13 season. He then joined Sutton United and later Whitehawk, though both moves were short-lived.
In 2014, he was charged and later convicted in connection with a match-fixing case, receiving a prison sentence. Following his release, Swaibu began working with football organisations such as FIFA and the Premier League, using his experience to educate others about the dangers of corruption and match manipulation within the sport.
Janos Kovacs
The big Hungarian defender was a key part of Peter Jackson’s Imps, having arrived here almost at the same time as his mentor. He’d already bagged the opening goal of our season in Jacko’s last home win.
After leaving City, Kovács joined Luton Town in the Conference Premier and made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut. He later moved to Hereford United in League Two before returning to Luton, where he enjoyed the most successful spell of his career. During that period, he was named both Player of the Year and included in the Conference Premier Team of the Year.
Kovács remained a key figure for Luton through their rebuilding years before being released at the end of the 2012–13 season, having firmly established himself as a dependable defender in English football.
Cian Hughton
I did an article on Hughton over the summer. He was another who did well under Jacko for a while, but drifted when Sutton came in.
After leaving City, Hughton went on trial with several clubs, including Vancouver Whitecaps, Bristol Rovers, Milton Keynes Dons, and Dundalk, though none led to a permanent deal. He later joined Birmingham City, where his father was manager, signing a short-term contract but making no first-team appearances before being released.
After leaving professional football, Hughton transitioned into business and built a successful career in sales and technology. He has since worked in senior roles for companies such as Drift and Attentive, where he continues to be based in London, pursuing a career outside of the sport.
