Remember Martin John

Remember defender Martin John? He is getting a chance to kick-start his career with FC Dallas in the MLS. Reports today have the young defender included in Dallas’ pre-season roster.

John released along with Chris Rae back in May after just one game for the Bluebirds and a loan spell with neighbours Newport County. After leaving the Bluebirds, he went back to the States and was offered a contract by Colorado last season, but could not come to acceptable terms.

He was spotted playing non-league football in the UK and was recommend to former boss Dave Jones who gave him a trial and impressed both the manager and his staff and was handed a one-year contract. The same day he signed, he made his debut against Burton Albion in the Carling Cup. He also impressed, the fans after Jones used all three subs in the Albion game for then John to pick up an injury and play the rest of the game plus extra-time carrying the injury.
