Career

Born in Croydon,[2] John began his career with Crawley Town, moving on loan to Bognor Regis Town in September 2012.[3] He next played for Sutton United, initially on loan before the transfer was made permanent.[2] While with Sutton he spent loan spells at Lewes, Metropolitan Police, Hemel Hempstead Town, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Ebbsfleet United.[2][4][5] In May 2018 it was announced that John would turn professional with Cambridge United for the 2018–19 season.[6] In November 2019 he returned to Sutton United on a two-month loan deal,[7][8] before the deal was made permanent in January 2020.[9]

In June 2024 he signed for Ebbsfleet United after his Sutton contract was cancelled by mutual consent.[10][11]
