Despite sporting one of the worst haircuts ever seen at the club, John is one of the best young players that Burton Albion has ever produced.

John was the first member of the successful Youth Development squad to be given a full contract with the first team. After making his debut in the Birmingham Senior Cup in October 2005, he had to wait until the final game of that season to make a league appearance.

Injuries and suspensions at the start of the 2005/06 season thrust John into the first team line up and he earned a string of accolades with his excellent performances.

Formerly on the books of Manchester City and Stoke City, John has represented England at Schools level and C level.

John was signed by Crewe Alexandra in August 2008 after making 100 appearances for the Brewers.
