Career

Born in Gravesend, Kent, Hessenthaler began his career with Chelsea as an Under-8 in their youth system and was 15 when Chelsea released him after seven years with the club.[5]

In January 2013, Hessenthaler signed for Merstham on loan.[6]

He signed his first professional contract with Gillingham in February 2013.[3] After loan spells with non-League clubs Lewes,[7] Tamworth[8] and Margate,[9] he made his debut for Gillingham on 30 November 2013 as an 85th minute substitute in a 4–1 away league loss to Rotherham.[10]

On 7 February 2014, Hessenthaler signed a new long-term deal at Gillingham to keep him contracted until the end of the 2017–18 season.[11] He scored his first goal for Gillingham in a 4–2 win at home to Coventry City on 11 March 2014, with a 40-yard strike in the 90th minute.[12][13] His goal against Coventry earned him Gillingham's 'Goal of the Season' award, whilst he also won the club's 'Young Player of the Year' award for the 2013–14 season.[14]

He was released by Gillingham at the end of the 2017–18 season[15] and signed a two-year contract with Grimsby Town on 25 June 2018.[16] He scored his first goal for Grimsby in a 2–1 EFL Trophy win over Notts County on 4 September 2018.[17]

On 28 January 2020, he suffered a punctured lung, a broken rib, and ligament damage across the shoulder and collarbone as a result of a challenge by Simeon Jackson in the first minute of a 3–1 victory over Stevenage.[18][19]

Hessenthaler was released by Grimsby at the end of the 2019–20 season.[20] On 1 September 2020, he signed for fellow League Two side Crawley Town.[21] He scored his first goal for Crawley on 30 January 2021 in a 3–1 defeat against Cambridge United.[22]

Personal life

Hessenthaler is the son of former Gillingham player and manager Andy Hessenthaler, the nephew of Darren Hare, who has worked as the club's youth team manager, and the cousin of former Gillingham teammate Josh Hare.[23]
