Early life edit
John-Jules was born in Westminster, Greater London.[4] He began his football career with Charlton Athletic before joining Arsenal at the age of 8.[5]
Club career edit
John-Jules made his debut for Arsenal under-23s against Arsenal's North London derby rivals Tottenham Hotspur and scored in the match.[6] He was part of the Arsenal under-18 team that reached the final of the 2017–18 FA Youth Cup.[7]
John-Jules signed professional terms for Arsenal in 2018.[4] In 2019, head coach Unai Emery selected him for the club's pre-season tour of the United States.[8] He renewed his contract with the club in August 2019.[9] Later in the year, he started to train with the first team squad at the request of Freddie Ljungberg, Arsenal's under-23 manager who was then the acting first team coach.[5]
John-Jules was loaned to Lincoln City in January 2020.[10][11] The move was made by Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta in order for John-Jules to get first team football in his preferred role as a striker.[12] He made his Lincoln City debut against Shrewsbury Town.[12] Lincoln City manager Michael Appleton praised John-Jules and said he could see him starting in Arsenal's first team in the future.[13] He scored his first Football League goal against Blackpool in his next match.[14] He was injured and ruled out for the rest of the season in March 2020.[15] He subsequently returned to his parent club.[16]
After his return to Arsenal, on 29 August 2020 John-Jules was an unused substitute in the 2020 FA Community Shield, in which Arsenal clinched a 5–4 penalty shootout victory over Liverpool after the match ended 1–1.[17]
On 8 September 2020, John-Jules was loaned to Doncaster Rovers for the 2020–21 season.[18] He scored his first goal for Doncaster in a 3–1 win against Charlton Athletic on 19 September 2020,[19] for which he won the Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month for League One.[20]
John-Jules joined Blackpool on a season-long loan on 29 July 2021.[21][22] He returned from the loan on 17 January 2022.[23]
On 25 January 2022, John-Jules joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan for the remainder of the season to team up with manager Darren Moore once again.[24][25] He made his debut on 29 January, coming off the bench against Ipswich Town.[26]
On 22 June 2022, John-Jules joined Ipswich Town on a season-long loan.[27][28]
On 25 August 2023, John-Jules joined Derby County on loan until January 2024.[29][30] After making his debut against Peterborough United on 26 August 2023, he picked up a thigh injury during the international break which ruled him out of the game at home to Portsmouth on 16 September 2023.[31] John-Jules was out two months with this injury, missing 15 matches.[32] He scored his first goal for Derby in his return appearance from injury, with his first touch after being a 76th minute substitute against Port Vale on 28 November 2023, scoring a minute later in the 1–0 victory.[33] Derby head coach Paul Warne was keen to extend John-Jules loan beyond its middle of January 2024 expiry, with Arsenal and Derby being in talks to do so.[34] John-Jules started his first game for Derby on 6 January 2024, at Fleetwood Town.[35] Later that month his loan was extended until the end of the season.[36] On 23 January 2024, John-Jules left the field against Reading in pain from a "serious" injury; later in the week it was confirmed that he would out for foreseeable future with a severe hamstring tear which may require surgery, and that the spate of injuries during his loan spells was taking a toll on him mentally.[37] On 8 February 2024, Warne confirmed that John-Jules had surgery on the injury, which ruled him out for the rest of the season. He also stated that John-Jules had returned to Arsenal for recovery and rehabilitation from said surgery.[38] However, John-Jules returned to training at Derby in April with a chance of a possible return to action before the end of the season.[39] However, John-Jules did not feature in any further games for Derby; he made a total of twelve appearances for Derby, scoring one goal, as they secured promotion to the Championship.[40]
International career edit
John-Jules has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 level.[4][41][42] In May 2018, John-Jules was a member of the side that hosted the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[43] The hosts were eliminated by the Netherlands at the semi-final stage on a penalty shootout with John-Jules scoring his spot kick.[44]
On 7 September 2021, John-Jules made his England U21 debut during the 2–0 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification win over Kosovo U21s at Stadium MK.[45]
