Joined Hampsthwaite United at the age of 16 in 1993.

Originally an all out Striker, more recently a right-midfielder, Jono has won various honours with the club and currently holds 5 top goal scorers awards in his posession.

A key figure of the mid-1990's Hampsthwaite that progressed from the 4th Division up to the 2nd Division between the years of 1994-95 & 1997-98.

Jono has won 2 League Championships, 4th Division 1995-96 & 3rd Division 1997-98 and Managed the side to promotion to the 1st Division 2003/04.

In between all that also figured in 3 Cup Finals, losing them all and is yet to pick up a Cup Winner's medal in 12 years at the club.

Picked up a career threatening knee injury January 3rd 1999 which required a complete rebuild of his cruciate and anterior knee ligaments and restructuring of the joint, would not play again until August 31st 2001, missing out on 2 and a half seasons through injury.

Took on the manager's job on the opening day of the 2002/03 Season and began to rebuild Hampsthwaite from nothing, bringing in a whole plethora of new players and scored the 1st goal on his player-manager debut in a defeat to Menston Rangers, August 31st 2002.

One year on, August 30th 2003 and scored his first hat-trick in 5 years  and for the first time since his return from injury, began to look like his former self as United cruised to victory over top-of-the-table Red Arrows 6-2 .

After the Hampsthwaite 1st team folded at the start  of that same year, took on the vacant Manager's position and led the club back to the 1st Division at the first attempt.
