Tyreece Romayo John-Jules (born 14 February 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker. He has previously played for Arsenal and has played on loan to Lincoln City, Doncaster Rovers, Blackpool, Sheffield Wednesday, Ipswich Town and Derby County.
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]
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-18s 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 for two months with this injury, missing fifteen 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, he 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] 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] He did not feature in any further games for Derby, however; he made a total of twelve appearances for Derby, scoring one goal, as they secured promotion to the Championship. [40]
He was released by Arsenal at the end of the 2023–24 season following the expiration of his contract. [41]
John-Jules has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 level. [4] [42] [43] In May 2018, John-Jules was a member of the side that hosted the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. [44] The hosts were eliminated by the Netherlands at the semi-final stage on a penalty shootout with John-Jules scoring his spot kick. [45]
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. [46]
