Career

[edit]

Burnley

[edit]

Jackson joined the Burnley Centre of Excellence in 2003 from local side Furness Rovers, progressing through the youth system, signing two-year scholarship forms in the summer of 2009.[3] He featured regularly for the reserve and youth sides, becoming the top scorer in the 2010–11 season, bagging 15 goals in 24 games.[4]

Jackson's goalscoring form led to him being offered professional terms in the summer of 2011, on a one-year deal.[5] He sustained a foot injury shortly after signing his contract and missed the start of the 2011–12 season.[6] Jackson returned to training in October, featuring with the first team in January 2012, when he was given a squad number and was an unused substitute in the FA Cup defeat at Norwich City.[7] He made his professional debut for the Clarets on 21 April 2012, coming on as a substitute for Charlie Austin in a 4–0 defeat to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road,[8][9] and signed a new one-year contract in July.[9]

On 4 April 2013, it was announced that he would not be offered a new contract when it expired in the summer.[10]

Barrow

[edit]

On 10 January 2012, Jackson was loaned out to his home-town club Barrow on a one-month youth loan, which also allowed him to feature in the FA Trophy.[11] He made his debut in a 4–1 defeat to Fleetwood Town, scoring from close range after coming on as a substitute for Andy Cook.[12] He made his first start two weeks later in a 3–2 win over Tamworth.[13] His second goal for Barrow was a dramatic last-gasp equaliser in a 2–2 draw with Grimsby Town.[14] Jackson was given a three-match ban for violent conduct in a 1–0 defeat to Braintree Town, after pushing Dean Wells in the chest.[15] At the end of January, Jackson had his loan at the club extended until the end of the season.[16] He scored the opening goal in a 2–2 draw with Southport, which proved to be his final goal for the club.[17] On 13 April, Jackson was recalled by his parent club.[18] On 7 August 2012, Jackson returned to Barrow on loan until January 2013 along with central defender Tom Anderson.[19]

Workington

[edit]

On 16 August 2013, Jackson signed a one-year deal with Conference North side Workington on a free transfer.[20]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2014 Jackson was diagnosed with leukemia. After a long recovery he was given the all-clear in January 2018. Supported financially by the Professional Footballers' Association, he received a place to study a masters in finance at Cass Business School, University of London.[21]
