Jack William Midson (born 12 September 1983) is an English footballer who plays for Football League Two side AFC Wimbledon as a striker. He was the 2011–12 Football League Two joint top scorer, along with Izale McLeod, Lewis Grabban & Adebayo Akinfenwa, with 18 goals and scored 20 goals in all competitions during the 2011–12 season for AFC Wimbledon, finishing the season as their top scorer.

Career

Semi-professional

Midson was a tennis and football coach in Cambridgeshire and Enfield as well as semi-professional footballer. He started his career at Stevenage Borough before spells at Dagenham & Redbridge, Chelmsford City and Bishop's Stortford before a successful one and a half year spell at Histon, where he scored 20 goals in the 2008–09 season. He taught PE lessons at Bowes Primary School and others as part of a fitness organisation.[2]

Professional

Oxford United

After disappointment in the 2009 Conference play-off semi-final, Midson's contract at Histon expired. He joined Oxford United on 16 May 2009 on a two-year professional contract.[2] Midson featured regularly as Oxford gained promotion to the Football League after four years in the Conference, and started for Oxford in the play-off final at Wembley.[3]

On 5 November 2010, he joined Southend United on a brief loan.[4] Following his return to Oxford, Midson scored his first career hat-trick against Torquay United on 3 January 2011.[5] Midson joined Barnet on loan in March 2011,[6] making his debut coming off the bench in a 1–0 defeat at Aldershot Town.[7]

AFC Wimbledon

In June 2011, Midson signed for AFC Wimbledon. On 9 July 2011, he made his debut in a 2-0 pre-season friendly win against a Fulham XI.[8] He scored his first Wimbledon goals three days later, a brace in a 5-1 away friendly victory against Staines Town.[9] He made his competitive debut in AFC Wimbledon's Football League debut, a 3-2 away defeat to Bristol Rovers.[10] He finished the 2011-12 season as AFC Wimbledon's top scorer with 20 goals in all competitions. He also finished the season as joint-top scorer in League Two with 18 league goals in total.[11] In June 2012, AFC Wimbledon rejected a six-figure bid for Midson from Rotherham, and he signed an improved contract with the Dons later that month.[12] On 2 December 2012, Midson scored for AFC Wimbledon in their first ever meeting with MK Dons. AFC Wimbledon went on to lose the match 2-1 however.[13] After a rather inconsistent goal scoring start to the 2012–13 Football League Two season, Midson hit consistent goal scoring form towards the end of the season to help lift AFC Wimbledon away from the League Two relegation zone.[14] He passed the double figure mark for the second season in a row after scoring the only goal in a vital relegation 6 pointer against Aldershot Town on 16 March 2013.[15]
