We'd been seeing the name for quite some time. A regular in the Reserves, he joined the Youth Team after impressing for Linfield. 

He had to wait 4 years before getting another chance to play competitive first team football.

David Perpetuini was our regular left back, but his refusal to sign a new deal saw Jonny in the team to face Stockport County.

It turned out to be an impressive debut, with him ending the game at Center Half (and being most peoples man of the match). He is now a full time "pro" and it wouldn't surprise anyone if he becomes a regular fixture sometime during 05-06.


Jonny has a good engine and will plough up and down the flank all day. He delivers a good cross in to the box and has a fairly decent long throw.
