Strong and pacy, John always gives 100%. He made the starting line-up just once in the League for York City in 2000-01 and featured in a handful of games from the subs' bench before being released in December and joining Darlington shortly afterwards. He made his debut for the Quakers in the home game against Lincoln shortly before Christmas and opened his account with a goal at Plymouth. He missed only three games in the second half of the campaign and added another four goals. A tall rangy striker his ability to win the ball in the air immediately added an extra dimension to the Darlington attack and his speed down the right flank provided a number of opportunities his team-mates.
John moved on to Swansea in the summer but was on City's transfer list by October 2001. He eventually joined Kidderminster Harriers in August 2003 on a three-month contract.
