John Brackstone (born 9 February, 1985 in Hartlepool) is a footballer who plays as a left back. He has recently signed for Gateshead after being released from Darlington. Prior to Darlington he played for Hartlepool United. He is also known as a set-piece specialist.

Football career

John Brackstone came through Hartlepool’s Youth Development programme, following in the footsteps of Antony Sweeney, Jim Provett and Adam Boyd. Brackstone played regularly for the reserves but broke his leg during the 2002/2003 season. However he recovered and impressed the then manager Neale Cooper enough to give him an opportunity in the first team, his debut being against Blackpool in 2003. Brackers went on to make more first team appearances and scored his first goal from a free kick against Whitby Town in the F.A. Cup during the same season. Despite being a fringe first team player, Brackstone was allowed to take part in the Youth Team that won the Dallas Cup in 2004. However in 2004, in-growing toenail problems and Glandular Fever disrupted Brackstone’s season and he has struggled to establish himself as a regular first team player. He was released in May 2007. In the same month, Darlington manager, Dave Penney, signed Brackstone on a free transfer.

After one season at Darlington, Brackstone was released and signed for Gateshead on May 30 2008.cite news
