John Surguy joined the club having completed two spells at Northampton Saints. He continued his prolific points scoring habit displayed at Franklins Gardens and previously at junior level for nearby Bletchley. Through his time at each club, Surguy had lived in Leighton and his town club was grateful he eventually made his way there. He featured prominently in the East Midlands Cup wins of 1986 and 1987. He also represented East Midlands in the Mobbs Memorial Match against the Barbarians whilst at Northampton.
