John (pictured) is a striker who played in the youth teams of Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Leicester City and represented England at under-16, 17, 18 and under-19 level.

 

The Foxes loaned him out to Kettering Town in 2011, where he made 3 appearances for the Poppies before making the move to Thailand.

 

Encouraged by the Thai owners of Leicester, he went on to play for three teams in Thailand, originally being signed for an 18-month deal by Muangthong United – a Bangkok side that had just won the country’s premier league.

 

But before making any appearances he was loaned to Suphanburi – a team in a rural area to the north of the Thai capital playing in the Thai division one.

 

He spent a brief stint on loan to TTM – the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly football club, formed in 1963 by cigarette factory workers and given the nickname the `Cigarette Smokers`.

 

His next stop was Nonthaburi, where he made 28 appearances and scored six goals before he decided to head back home in 2014.

 

Back in England he signed for Corby Town for a few months before moving to Nuneaton Town in July 2014, where he managed one goal in 12 appearances.

 

That year also saw him being called up by Antigua & Barbuda to make his international debut in October 2014 in a match against St Lucia ahead of the Caribbean Cup.

 

Come the beginning of 2015 he was on the move again, heading to Slovenia to play for NK Domžale.

 

He only made two appearances and then in October 2017 he signed for United Counties League side Harrowby United and made his debut away to Rugby Town.

 

In February 2018 he began his next adventure in the Far East, joining Phnom Penh Crown FC with the goal of helping them get back to the top of the league.

 

The team has won the Cambodian League six times in the past, with the last win in 2015.

 

The Greenbacks have also signed Sam Walton.

 

Walton has come to the Oval after playing for Southern Premier Division Central side Tamworth last season.

 

He is a centre-back who can also list Coventry City and Derby County amongst his former clubs.
