Club career

Sheffield Wednesday

His first league appearance came on the final game of the season coming on as a 90th minute substitute at Hillsborough for the 2-1 victory over Walsall.

The following season he joined York City on a month's loan for first team experience,cite news

Jon eventually made eight starts that season and scored his first two senior goals. A header against Luton Town and a long range effort against QPR in front of 29,313 fans at Hillsborough. Both goals came on the second last and last games of the season respectively.

Chris Turner rewarded the youngster for his performances with a new contract at the end season.

He did not start a single match under Turner's replacement Paul Sturrock and was released from the club.

Burton Albion
