Pretty sure it is umbrella sedge - but perhaps wait confirmation from somebody else or appearence of seed need before pulling out - If it is umbrella sedge you do not want it establishing.

yes, looks like Umbrella Sedge, and right kind of moist habitat, with no competition.

Thanks, Michael and Jane. We have removed it to be on the safe side. Will keep an eye for more popping up.
