Jason David Ian Puncheon (born 26 June 1986 in Croydon, Greater London) is an English professional footballer who is currently attached to Southampton. He is able to play on the left or right wing and sometimes plays just behind the striker. Following his goal against Everton on his Blackpool debut, he has scored in every division of English league football, scoring for Barnet in League Two, Milton Keynes Dons and Southampton in League One, Millwall in the Championship and Blackpool in the Premier League.

Playing career

Puncheon began his career with Wimbledon, and moved with the team to Milton Keynes, where the club became Milton Keynes Dons in 2004. He was released in January 2006. He moved to Barnet in June of the same year, after brief spells with Fisher Athletic and Lewes. He was named FA Cup Player of the Third Round in 2007 and the following season after scoring a succession of brilliant goals (including a last minute 35 yard free kick versus Bradford) was named in the PFA Team of the Season.

Plymouth signed Puncheon from Barnet for £250,000, however he endured an unsuccessful 18-month spell at the club, making only seven league appearances. He was loaned to former club MK Dons three times in two years, where he scored 11 goals in 51 appearances.

On 30 January 2010, Puncheon joined Southampton which then led to his loan deal at MK Dons to be cut short.<ref...
