John Lester (born in 5 August 1982 in Dublin) is an Irish footballer currently playing for Galway United in the League of Ireland [http://www.galwayunitedfc.ie/first-team-squad/john-lester.html] .

Career

Lester played his schoolboy football at Leicester Celtic alongside the likes of Andy Reid, Barry Roche and Declan Field. His performances attracted cross-channel clubs and he played for West Ham United in the famous Northern Ireland Milk Cup winning the Player of the Tournament award. [http://www.nimilkcup.org/?tabindex=39&tabid=1407] Despite this, he ended up signing professional terms with Everton. He began well and regularly played for the reserve team at the age of 16 but in his 2nd season, he broke his leg and missed the remainder of the year.

His time on Merseyside was never the same after the broken leg and he returned home to Dublin and signed for Pete Mahon's Bohemians, making his league debut as a substitute against Galway United in August 2001. He made his Irish Under 21 debut in February 2003 in an international against Scotland.

He has also played for Drogheda United, Monaghan United and Limerick F.C.
