John Morgan Oster (born 8 December 1978 in Boston, Lincolnshire) is an English born Welsh international footballer, currently playing as a winger for Crystal Palace.

Club career

Oster started his career at Grimsby Town before moving to Everton for £1.5 million[1] aged only 18 and having played only 25 matches. He was widely regarded as a highly promising talent, but proved difficult to manage and never achieved his potential with the Toffees.

Oster moved to Sunderland for a fee in excess of £1 million,[1] but achieved little in his time at the club other than to frustrate supporters and end the career of reserve player Mark Maley by accidentally shooting him in the eye with an air rifle.[2] . While at Sunderland, John spent 5 months on loan with his former club Grimsby Town, where despite having a very productive spell with the club, his goals and performances could not stop Town's relegation in 2003. Oster was released by Sunderland in January 2005[3], shortly after returning to the Black Cats in disgrace from a loan at Leeds United.[4] Following a short spell at Burnley,[1] Oster joined Reading on 2 August 2005.[5]

Oster made his debut for Reading against Brighton & Hove Albion on 9 August 2005 as a substitute.[6] In January 2007, he extended his contract at the Madejski Stadium until the summer of 2008.[7] He notched his first Premier League goal in nearly 10 years against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium where the Royals were defeated for the first time in 2007, by 2 goals to 1.[8] He was released by Reading following their relegation from the Premier League, on 16 May 2008.[9]. Oster signed an initial six month contract for Crystal Palace on 11th August 2008.[10]
