John David Lundstram (born 18 February 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for League One club Oxford United, where he is the team captain. He has also represented England internationally at under-17, under-18, under-19, and under-20 levels and has appeared in three official youth competitions for the Three Lions.

Club career

Everton

Lundstram has been developed as a football player by Everton from a very early age and signed a full-time scholarship in July 2010. In June 2011, Lundstram signed a two-year professional contract with Everton. Then in June 2013, Lundstram signed another two-year contract. On 22 July 2014, Lundstram made his first appearance for Everton's first team in a friendly against Tranmere Rovers.[4]

At the end of the 2014–15 season, Lundstram was released by the club.[5]

Loan spells

In February 2013, he joined Doncaster Rovers on a one-month loan.[6] He made his full league début for the club in a 1–1 draw against Yeovil Town on 23 February 2013.[7] There was concern over Lindstram's future at Doncaster Rovers after he sustained an ankle injury during a match against Portsmouth, which ended a 1–1 draw,[8] but in the end Lundstram's loan spell was extended until the end of the season.[9] Lundstram went on to make over a dozen appearances for Rovers, becoming a key part of the side that lifted the League One trophy at the end of the season.

On 28 November 2013, Lundstram joined Football League Championship side Yeovil Town on loan until January.[10] He made his Yeovil Town debut against Watford two days later, Yeovil winning 0–3. During the match, Lundstram assisted Joe Edwards for the third goal.[11] On 3 December, he scored on his second appearance for the club in a 1–0 win against Blackpool.[12] Lundstram then extended his loan spell with Yeovil Town until the end of the season.[13] He scored his second goal for the club in a 3–2 loss against Derby County on 28 January 2014.[14] On 10 March 2014, Lundstram was recalled by Everton having become a peripheral figure at Yeovil, having made 16 appearances and scoring twice.[15]

On 27 March 2014, Lundstram joined Football League One side Leyton Orient on a one-month loan deal.[16] Two days later, he made his Leyton Orient debut in a 1–0 loss against Bradford City.[17] After five appearances, Lundstram extended his loan stay until after the Football League play-offs on 24 April 2014.[18] He played in two of the club's three play-off matches and came on as a substitute for Dave Mooney in the 108th minute of the play-off final against Rotherham United. Lundstram was one of the three Leyton Orient players to convert their kick in a penalty shoot-out, which Leyton Orient lost 5–3.[19] After the Os failed to achieve promotion,[20] Lundstram returned to his parent club.[21]

On 6 August 2014, Lundstram joined Blackpool on a season-long loan,[22] making his debut on 9 August.[23] Lundstram made seventeen straight appearances for Blackpool until he was recalled by his parent club on 3 January 2015.[24]

On 9 January 2015, Lundstram rejoined Leyton Orient on loan until 19 February 2015, stating on his return: "I feel like I have unfinished business at Orient after the way last season ended."[25] His second debut for the club came the following day, when he came on as a second-half substitute for Josh Wright in a 1–0 defeat by Fleetwood Town.[26] After four appearances, it was announced on 19 February 2015 that Lundstram would return to his parent club.[27]

Just 30 days after returning to his parent, Lundstram joined Scunthorpe United on a one-month loan deal.[28] Upon moving to Scunthorpe United, Lundstram expressed happiness at the way the club treated him.[29] His Scunthorpe United debut came in a 4–0 loss against Sheffield United.[30]

Oxford United

On 13 August 2015, after attracting interest from Crewe Alexandra and Wigan Athletic of League One,[31] Lundstram signed for League Two side Oxford United on a two-year deal, with the option of a further year.[32] On 12 July 2016, at the age of 22, he was appointed team captain following the departure of long-serving defender Jake Wright.[33]

International career

Described as a strong tackling midfielder, Lundstram worked his way into the England U17 squad during the 2010–11 campaign after impressing in the Nordic Tournament.

His first full season on the international stage saw him play a major part in the U17s' run to the semi-final of the European Championship in Serbia. UEFA described Lundstram as an "influential catalyst in launching attacking moves" and he was also named in the "Tournament select squad".[34] Following the completion of the tournament, UEFA made comparisons to fellow Liverpool-born player Steven Gerrard and praised his "biting tackle" and a "fine range of passing to instigate attacks".[35]

Lundstram was named in the England squad that reached the quarter final of the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup under John Peacock. He played in a total of four games. England were eliminated from the competition by Germany having knocked Argentina out in the round of 16.[36]

The 2011–12 season saw him play twice for Noel Blake's U18s, captaining the side to a win against Poland before he made another step-up to the U19s squad, again under Blake, as he helped England to qualify for the European Championship Finals in Estonia. He scored the opening goal in a 2–1 victory over France in the final tournament. England reached the semi-final of the tournament and were eliminated from the competition by Greece.[37]

On 28 May 2013, he was named in manager Peter Taylor's 21-man squad for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[38] He made his debut on 16 June, in a 3–0 win in a warm-up game against Uruguay.[39]
